 MAGPIE - Patrick Wolf

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 Tabbed by: RainbowBassist
 
 Feel free to make any comment/suggestions- as this song is originally for piano, I
 tried my best to make it sort of interchangeable with the guitar without working
 too much harder than needed.
 
 Tuning: Standard, with Capo on 1st fret
 
 PLAY EVERYTHING IN RESPECT TO THE CAPO ON THE 1ST FRET
 
 G7 35x46x
 Amsus4 x02240
 Also, use G barred on the 3rd fret
 
 Intro: Strum these chords once (this song sounds even better when fingerpicked)
 F | G7 | Am | Am
 F | G | Am | Am
 
 Arpeggiating the first four notes of the chords will make it sound like the piano: e.g.
 
 Play twice under violin scale:

 e|--------------------------------|------------------------------------|
 B|--------------------------------|------------------------------------|
 G|-------2-------2-------2------2-|-------0------0------0------0-----o-|
 D|-----3-------3-------3------3---|-----3------3------3------3-------o-|
 A|---3-------3-------3------3-----|---3------3------3------3-----------|
 E|-1-------1-------1------1-------|-1------1------1------1-------------|
 

 
 F          Dm                                  Am 
 Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring? 
                                           F             Dm Am 
 Or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away? 
 F Dm Am Am (x02200)
 Magpie, I am lost among the hinterland,
                                        F 
 caught among the bracken and the fern, 
                           Dm  Amsus4 Am 
 and the boys who have no name.
 
 Am                   
 Theres No Name For Us
                   F 
 But Still We Sing 
 
 F | G | Amsus4 | Am
 Oooooohh etc.
 F | Dm | Amsus4 | Am |
 And still we sing,
 
 F                       G 
 Little boy, little boy, 
                Am 
 Lost and blue, 
 F                                       G Dm 
 Listen now, let me tell you what to do, 
 
 F                                 Dm 
 You can run on, run along or home 
                           Am 
 Between the knees of her, 
                                      F 
 All among her bracken and her ferns, 
                  G            Am 
 And the boy will have a name. 
 
 And We Will Sing
 F | G | Amsus4 | Am |
 F | G | Amsus4 | Am C |
