Grateful Dead — Peggy-o Chords

Standard Tuning

This is a great song, yet so simple, to emulate the little fills and riffs just mess 
in the G major scale until you can find a similar feel.

As we marched out to Fennerio
    C               G
Our Captain fell in love
       G    G/F#   Em
With a lady like a dove

And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy—O


Would you marry me, pretty Peggy—O?
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy—O?
If you would marry me,
I would set your cities free
Free all the ladies in the are—o

I would marry you, sweet William—O
I would marry you, sweet William—O
I would marry you but your Guineas are too few
And I fear my mama would be angry—o

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

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

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

Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy—O
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy—O
Sweet William he is dead,
And he died for a maid
And he's burried in Louisana country—O

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