Chords

[Intro] F C G x4 [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                  
    No one gets remembered, 

F        C                  G  
 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

Dm   C             G                     
     No one gets remembered, 

                 F             C                  G
in this listless life, for the things they didn't do
[Verse]
E                     Am         G                   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                    G               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.
[Interlude]
F      C                G       
'Cause better times are coming, 

F   C           G
    better times ahead

F   C             G            
    No one gets remembered, 

             F               C                 G
my deathless child, So don't waste too long in bed
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                
    No one gets remembered, 

                           F             C                  G
in this listless, loveless life, for the things they didn't do
[Outro]
F     C              G                   F
      Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

      C              G                   F
Well, Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

      C              G                   F
Well, Peggy sang the blues, as I drifted off

      C              G
Well, Peggy sang the blues,

F     C              G 
      Peggy sang the blues, 
F C G
