[Intro]
F C G
[Verse]
G Am F C
Peggy came to me in my sleep
G Am F C
In the middle of the night on a Friday night last week
G Am F C
She whispered hush child but don't be scared
G Am F C
I've got a few words of wisdom that I've come back to share
[Chorus]
F C G
and she said, doesn't matter where you come from
F C G
It matters where you go
F C G F C
no one gets remembered, for the things they didn't do
[Verse]
G Am F C
I said Peggy won't you stay here for a while
G Am F C
We can drink whiskey, we can play cards and we can get wild
G Am F C
She said we'll play poker and we'll play for keeps
G Am F C
I only played angels lately and they never let me cheat
[Chorus]
F C G
doesn't matter where you come from
F C G
It matters where you go
F C G F C G
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do
[Verse]
E Am C
You could say I had a good time, you could say I had class
E Am F C
You could say that I was born beneath this ceiling made of glass
E Am C
But I always kept an open house and always did right by my friends
E Am F C
When I get to Saint Peter's gate I'll tell the keeper I'm not the one who
G
needs to make amends.
F C G F C G
Cause better times are coming, better times ahead
F C G F C G
No one gets remembered, my deathless child, and soon you will be dead.
And Peggy said.
[Chorus]
F C G
doesn't matter where you come from
F C G
It matters where you go
F C G F C G
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do
F C G
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
F C G
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
F C G
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
F C G
Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off well
F C G
Peggy sang the blues, peggy sang the blues
