  Peggy-O -- Trad., sung Joan Baez, Simon and Garfunkel, Grateful Dead et al.

  

  [This is closest to the Baez version.]

  

  Transcribed by Nick Munn (nsm14@cus.cam.ac.uk)

  

  

   C             Am   Em    F   C

   As we marched down to Fennario

      C  G            C  G  C   G

   As we marched down to Fennario

       Am      G       C           G           F      C

   Our captain fell in love with a lady like a dove

           C            Am     Em         F     C

   And the name she was called was pretty Peggy-O

  

  

  The main embellishment I use is on the F chords. In the first and last

  lines, I hammer on the A note on the G string, i.e. play

  

  E---1------1-----

  B---1--------1---

  G---0h2--0-----2-

  D---3------------

  A---3------------

  E---1------------

  

  or similar. On "dove" at the end of line 3 I play something like

  

  E------------1---------------1---0--

  B----------1---------------1-----1--

  G------0h2-----------0-h-2-------0--

  D--2-h-3-------2-h-3-------------2--

  A--2-h-3-------2-h-3-------------3--

  E-----------------------------------

  

  

  

  Other verses (again, close to Baez's):

  

  Won't you come and go with me, pretty Peggy-O? (x2)

  In coaches you shall ride with your true love by your side

  Just as grand as any lady in the are-o

  

  What would your mother think, pretty Peggy-O? (x2)

  What would your mother think for to hear the guineas clink

  And the soldiers all marching before you?

  

  You're the man that I adore, sweet William-O (x2)

  You're the man that I adore, but your fortune is too low

  I'm afraid that my mother would be angry-o

  

  Come tripping down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O (x2)

  Come tripping down the stairs and tie up your yellow hair

  Bid a last farewell to sweet William-O

  

  If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O (x2)

  If ever I return then the city I shall burn

  And destroy all the ladies in the are-o

  

  Our captain he is dead, pretty Peggy-O (x2)

  Our captain he is dead, and he died for a maid

  And he's buried in Louisiana county-o.
