Chords

A traditional Irish song, made famous by the Dubliners. As with any traditional song there is an unlimited amount of verses, with a million versions of each of these verses. I have included the most common ones, the ones that were used by the Dubliners. [Verse 1]
   D                G      D  A
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling,

G            D            A
Come sit you down upon my knee,

G            D      G    D  A
Come tell to me the very reason,

G        D         A      D
Why I am slighted, so, by thee.
[Verse 2]
   D             G       D  A
I'm so in love I can't deny it

G             D               A
My heart lies smothered in my breast

G            D      G             D    A
It's not for you to let the world know it

  G        D        A       D
A troubled mind can know no rest
[Verse 3]
  D                    G       D   A
I did put my head to a cask of brandy

G         D            A
It was my fancy I do declare

G            D        G    D   A
For when I'm drinking I am thinking

G           D     A          D
And wishing Peggy Gordon was here
[Verse 4]
D             G      D A
I wish I was away in Ingo

G              D     A
Far across the briny sea

G       D        G       D A
Sailing o'er the deepest ocean

G              D          A      D
Where love nor care never bother me
[Verse 5]
D                    G        D  A
I wish I was in some lonesome valley

G          D              A
Where womankind cannot be found

G                      D        G            D  A
Where the pretty small birds do change their voices

    G     D        A         D
And every moment a different sound
[Verse 6]
   D                G      D  A
Oh Peggy Gordon you are my darling,

G            D            A
Come sit you down upon my knee,

G            D      G    D  A
Come tell to me the very reason,

G        D         A      D
Why I am slighted, so, by thee
