12-stringer Tune Req: Peggy Gordon (guitar tabs) (13) RE: Guitar tabs 'Peggy Gordon' 17 Jun 08


The only version I've ever heard is the one on Peggy Seeger's "A Song for You and Me" LP (Prestige 13058) -- my favorite Peggy Seeger album ever. She accompanies herself on autoharp. It comes from a Helen Creighton collection, out of the Maritimes. From the Peggy Seeger Songbook, then, this set of chords:

[E]Oh, Peg[B7]gy [E]Gordon, you are my dar[B7]ling
Come [A]sit you [E]down upon my [B7]knee
And [A]tell to [E]me the [B7]very [E]rea[B7]son
[A]Why I'm sligh[E]ted [B7]so by [E]thee.

This tune is extremely similar to the one Martin Carthy uses for "Banks of the Sweet Primeroses" on his album "But Two Came By" and which he plays on mandolin.
