A


[Verse]

A                  D            A
    As we rode on out to Fennario,
A                  F#m   C#m
    As we rode on out to Fennario,
     D                   A              E      F#m
Our captain fell in love... with a lady like a dove
    A                  D                 A
And called her by her name, pretty Peggy-O.


[Verse]

A                     D               A
    Will you marry me... pretty Peggy-O,
                  F#m       C#m
will you marry me... pretty Peggy-O?
   D                 A                    E      F#m
If you will marry me, oh... I'll set your cities free
    A            D                     A
And free all the ladies... in the area-O.


[Verse]

A                         D              A
    Oh, I would marry you, sweet William-O,
A                         F#m      C#m
    Oh, I would marry you... sweet William-O
    D                 A                       E   F#m
Oh, I would marry you... but your guineas are too few
      A       D                   A
And I fear my mama would be angry-O.


[Verse]

A                              D               A
    What would your mama think... pretty Peggy-O,
A                              F#m       C#m
    What would your mama think... pretty Peggy-O,
     D                     A                  E     F#m
What would your mama think... if she heard my guineas clink
    A                      D                   A
And saw me marching at the head of my soldiers-O?


[Verse]

A                          D               A
    Oh, if I ever I return... pretty Peggy-O,
A                      F#m       C#m
    If I ever I return... pretty Peggy-O,
    D                  A                E   F#m
Oh, if I ever I return... your cities I will burn
    A                 D                A
And destroy all the ladies in the area-O.


[Verse]

A                          D                   A
    Come steppin' down the stairs pretty Peggy-O,
A                          F#m           C#m
    Come steppin' down the stairs pretty Peggy-O,
     D                 A                        E     F#m
Come steppin' down the stairs combin' back your yellow hair
A              D                  A
Bid a last farewell to your William-O.


[Verse]

A                            D              A
    Sweet William he is dead... pretty Peggy-O,
A                            F#m       C#m
    Sweet William he is dead... pretty Peggy-O,
      D                  A              E     F#m
Sweet William he is dead... and he died for a maid
         A                   D          A
And he's buried in the Louisiana country-O.


[Verse]

A                 D              A
    As we rode on out, to Fennario,
A                 F#m    C#m
    As we rode on out to Fennario
    D                    A              E      F#m
Our captain fell in love... with a lady like a dove,
    A                 D                  A
And called her by her name, pretty Peggy-O.
