Standard Tuning



This is a great song, yet so simple, to emulate the little fills and riffs just mess 

in the G major scale until you can find a similar feel.

As we marched out to Fennerio

As we marched out to Fennerio

    C               G

Our Captain fell in love

       G    G/F#   Em

With a lady like a dove

       G             C                  G

And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O





Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?

Would you marry me, pretty Peggy-O?

If you would marry me,

I would set your cities free

Free all the ladies in the are-o



I would marry you, sweet William-O

I would marry you, sweet William-O

I would marry you but your Guineas are too few

And I fear my mama would be angry-o



What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O

What would your mama think, pretty Peggy-O

If she heard my Guineas clink?

Saw me marching at the head of my soilders-o.



Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O

Come a-steppin down the stairs, pretty Peggy-O

Come a-steppin down the stairs

Combin' back your yellow hair

Bid a last fair well to your William-O



For if ever I return, pretty Peggy-O

If ever I return, pretty Peggy-O

If ever I return

All your cities I will burn

Destroy all the ladies in the are-o



Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O

Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy-O

Sweet William he is dead,

And he died for a maid

And he's burried in Louisana country-O



As we marched out to Fenerio

As we marched out to Fenerio

Our Captain fell in love

With a lady like a dove

And he called her by name, Pretty Peggy-O
