Aoife O'Donovan "Magpie" Live at KDHX 8/4/2016 chords
Start Jamming...
I took a [F] drive down a dark road toward the sand that said the west
When I seen it, [G] that glimmer and that [F] green mark was all I needed
[C] To feel you in the passenger seat
[Dm] I'm in [Bb] Ramona
[Cm]
I feel [C] you with a hand on my knee, [Dm] though I'm traveling alone
[F]
We were kids, [Ab] we'd pile in a date, sing [G] rose before the end
[Bb] We would run, or [Ab] skip and stone, sing in the [Bb] low of the evening sun
[Cm]
You were an [Bb] old man, getting older every day
[Cm] And [Bb] I could feel it in [Dm] those red eyes
[F] [Dm] And I, [F]
I [C] think I know [Dm] when you die
[F] You [Bb] were a magpie, [C] one [Dm] for sorrow, two for [G] joy
And I would never pay no mind to the way
All the birds [Ab] that perched upon it, the [Bb] bough of bees and pipe on [G] it
[Gm]
I remember [Bb] the country roads, the [Dm] causeways
[Bb] And [Cm] [Bb] [Dm]
I, [F]
[Bb] I think I know [Dm] when you die
[F] [Bb] You were a magpie,
[Gm] [A]
[F] [D]
[C] [F] [D]
[C] [E]
[Gm] one for sorrow, two for joy
[G] The Atlantic [D] in our hair, a murderous cruise flew over us
[Gm] Early morning air, singing past [D] the time when you've been shot
Oh, and you can feel us coming around again, coming [D] home again
Even if it's got [F] nothing on us
[Bb] [Ab] [Bb]
[G] [Fm]
[F] [Bb] When you go, we'll bury [G] you along the same road as the sun sets in the west
[C] You're on our shoulders, we'll lower you into the ground like a bone
When [Cm] a [F] magpie lands on me, [Dm] I'm in my boner
[Cm] I feel [Bb] your breath on my cheek, though [Dm] I'm alone
[F] [Bb] [F]
