Verse 1
(A minor) I was woken up in the (G major) early morning,
(D minor) after my flight
By a (A minor) sound I could not grasp, (G major)
I did not recognize
(D minor) (A minor) Running like water,
(G major) two toned, and tangled (D minor)
Like a (A minor) briar holding many (G major) sounds,
all at once
(D minor)
Verse 2
"It was a (G major) magpie",
you told (D minor) me as you (C major) handed me a cof (F major) fee
The (G major) black and white bird
you (D minor) see in city parks
(F major) And you (G major) pointed out the win (D minor) dow,
(C major) looking straight in (F major) at me
A (G major) black and white bird
(D minor) sit ting on the fence
(F major)
Verse 3
I (A minor) thought about the man
who called (G major) it a magpie
(D minor) Confronted by (C major) the great ex
(A minor) panse of (G major) his ignorance
He (D minor) wanted to name it, (C major)
to detain it (A minor) forever (G major) in that small phrase (D minor)
(C major) It seemed like a shame (F major) to give it a name
Verse 4
(F major)
But (D minor) then again, I (C major) don't understand
(F major) anything the way I'm supposed to
I (D minor) drag every river for (C major) meaning,
scrape (F major) my hand on (G major) every ceiling
(D minor) I never know what to (C major) say or not say
(F major) What to honour or betray
in any given (G major) day
Verse 5
(G major)
But I (A minor) never got used to the
(G major) sound of the magpie
(D minor) It set my skin on (C major) edge, called (A minor) like a child
Like a (G major) dog,
like the (D minor) wind caught in a (C major) fence
(A minor) When we talked, it (G major) interrupted
(D minor) And I would never know (C major) what it (G major) meant
