Peggy Gordon Chords

Peggy Gordon – The Dubliners
TAB’D BY WOMPTON from a live version I heard on youtube (in G)
(other versions are in a different key)
 
[VERSE 1]
        G   C               G   D
O Peggy Gor-don, You are my darling
C            G            D
Come sit you down upon my knee
            G   C         G   D
And tell to me…. the very reason
C        G        D     G
Why I am slighted so by thee
 
[VERSE 2]
          G  C               G    D
I’m so in lo-ve that I can't deny it
C             G               D
My heart lies smothered in my breast
             G  C                        G    D
It's not for you… to let the whole world know it
C          G        D       G
A troubled mind can know no rest
 
[VERSE 3]
         G   C              G   D
I put my he-ad to a cask of brandy
C         G          D
It was my fancy I do declare
             G    C         G   D
For when I’m drinking, I am thinking
C           G     D          G
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here
 
[VERSE 4]
         G   C          G  D
I wish I was….. away in Ingo
C      G             D
Far across the briny sea
        G    C              G  D
Sailing o’er….. the deepest ocean
C              G          D      G
Where love nor care never bother me
 
[VERSE 5]
           G    C                  G  D
I wished I was….. in some lonesome valley
C          G              D
Where womankind cannot be found
                       G     C                  G   D
Where the pretty small birds….. do change their voices
C         G        D         G
And every moment a different sound
 
[VERSE 6]
        G   C               G   D
O Peggy Gor-don, You are my darling
C            G            D
Come sit you down upon my knee
            G   C         G   D
And tell to me…. the very reason
C        G        D     G
Why I am slighted so by thee
