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-------------|

Listen now, let me tell you what to do,
FDm
You can run on, run along or home
Am
Between the knees of her,
F
All among her bracken and her ferns,
GAm
And the boy will have a name.
And We Will Sing?
