Peggy-o Ukulele by Grateful Dead

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Difficulty: Novice

Noticed the two tabs were close, but off - here's the basic chord progression:

Verse 1:

  C     F       C
As we marched out to Fennerio
  C     Am   Em
As we marched out to Fennerio
  F        C
Our Captain fell in love
    C     Am
With a lady like a dove
   C        F        C
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O

Verse 2:

  C      F        C
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
  C      Am        C
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
  F       Em
If you would marry me,
    C        Am
I would set your cities free
 C      F        C
Free all the ladies in the are-o

Verse 3:

  C      F        C
I would marry you, sweet William-O
  C      Am        C
I would marry you, sweet William-O
  F      C
I would marry you
    C         Am
But your Guineas are too few
    C    F         C
And I fear my mama would be angry-o

Verse 4:

  C      F            C
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O
  C      Am            C
What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O
   F        C
What would your mama think,
    C     Am
If she heard my Guineas clink?
    C       F          C
Saw me marching at the head of my soilders-o.

Verse 5:

  C      F         C
For if ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
  C    Am         C
If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O
  F    C
If ever I return
     C      Am
All your cities I will burn
   C     F         C
Destroy all the ladies in the are-o

Verse 6:

    C        F          C
Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
    C        Am          C
Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O
    F        C
Come a-steppin down the stairs
     C        Am
Combin' back your yellow hair
   C     F          C
Bid a last fair well to your William-O

Verse 7:

   C       F         C
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
   C       Am         C
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
   F       C
Sweet William he is dead,
    C     Am
And he died for a maid
     C     F        C
And he's buried in Louisana country-O

Verse 8:

  C     F      C
As we marched out to Fenerio
  C     Am      C
As we marched out to Fenerio
  F        C
Our Captain fell in love
    C      Am
With a lady like a dove
   C        F         C
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
