(ver. 1)
Grateful Dead
[Verse 1]

   C         F              C
As we marched out to Fennerio
   C         Am      Em
As we marched out to Fennerio
    F               C
Our Captain fell in love
       C          Am
With a lady like a dove
     C               F                C
And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O

[Verse 2]

    C           F                C
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
    C           Am               C
Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?
    F              Em
If you would marry me,
        C               Am
I would set your cities free
 C            F                C
Free all the ladies in the are-o

[Verse 3]

    C           F                C
I would marry you, sweet William-O
    C           Am               C
I would marry you, sweet William-O
    F           C
I would marry you
       C                 Am
But your Guineas are too few
       C       F                  C
And I fear my mama would be angry-o

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

      C             F                  C
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
      C             Am                 C
Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O
      F             C
Sweet William he is dead,
       C          Am
And he died for a maid
         C         F                C
And he's buried in Louisana country-O

[Verse 8]

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