Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Strum these chords once (this song sounds even better when fingerpicked)
Arpeggiating the first four notes of the chords will make it sound like the piano: e.g.
Magpie, was it you who stole the wedding ring?
Or what other thieving bird would steal such hope away?
Magpie, I am lost among the hinterland,
caught among the bracken and the fern,
and the boys who have no name. Amsus4
Theres No Name For Us
But Still We Sing
OooooohhAmsus4
etc.
And stillAmsus4 we sing,
Little boy, little boy,
Lost and blue,
Listen now, let me tell you what to do,
You can run on, run along or home
Between the knees of her,
All among her bracken and her ferns,
And the boy will have a name.
And We Will Sing
