The Magpie Lyrics

...THE MAGPIE... by Donovan
*from 'A Gift from a Flower to a Garden' (1968)*
*CAPO 6th FRET*
(Original Key: Abm)
Verse 1:
The Magpie is a most illustrious bird.
Dwells in a diamond tree.
One brings sorrow and one brings joy,
Sorrow and joy for me.
Verse 2:
The Magpie is a most royal bird.
Black and blue as night.
I would that I had feathers three,
Black and blue and white.
Verse 3:
I saw the gentle Magpie bird,
In the dusky yester-eve.
One brings sorrow and one brings joy,
Sorrow and joy for me,
Sorrow and joy for me.
