17 Jun 08 - 07:36 PM (#2368320) Subject: RE: Guitar tabs 'Peggy Gordon' From: 12-stringer 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. |

I have heard this so many times and those chords I find hard to accompany on both sets... I seem to like Peace's one though except I play it slightly different: [A]Oh, Peggy [A]Gord[E]on you [D] are my [A] darl[E]ing, Come [D] sit ye [A] down upon my [E] knee, And [D] tell to [A] me the [D] very [A] reas[E]on, That [D] I am [A] slighted [E] so by [A] thee. I seem to be able to sing to this better but I'm not sure if you sing it different. I'm just going on what I remember from clubs :D |

It's been done by the Corrs, Dubliners so if you wanted to I'm sure you could find a version or 2 to listen to. I just like the song especially when done unaccompanied and with a lot of power :D (but it sounds nice with instruments) |

18 Jun 08 - 07:41 PM (#2369411) Subject: RE: Guitar tabs 'Peggy Gordon' From: Big Al Whittle I do a not bad version. I'll try and put it on my website soon as I promised Sapper 82 I would a few weeks ago at a mudcat gather in deepest Derbyshire - a place glorying in the name of of Wardlow Mires. Strangely reminiscent of that pub in An American Werewolf! Although I too first heard it from Peggy strumming on autoharp - the version I draw mainly on is my memory of the late John Dunkerly of the Ian Campbell folk group. |
