The Mountain Goats – Magpie (Ukulele)

Am                      C
Feed the kittens in the kitchen

G                    Am
Set food out for the strays

Am                  C
Try hard to do your best

    G                    Am
The magpie will have his way

Am                   C
Fill your mouth with berries

       G                Am
By the full light of the moon

Am                    C
Work all night if you have to

    G               Am
The magpie comes at noon

Am               C
Shore up the crucifixes

          G                Am
Above the archways and the doors

    Am                  C
The magpie will come at midday

             G              Am
And you will go down on all fours

Am                               C
And when the cherry's white with blossoms

   G            Am
Be ready and be brave

Am                   C
And remember what we had here

               G                 Am
When there was something left to save
