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
