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 

	F          C                         G 
and she said, doesn't matter where you come from 
F   C                         G 
It matters where you go 
F   C                         G        F   C                          
no one gets remembered, for the things they didn't do 

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 

F          C                   G 
doesn't matter where you come from 
F   C                G 
It matters where you go 
F   C        G                                 F     C             G 
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do 

E                          Am                        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                               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. 

F            C         G       F      C      G 
Cause better times are coming, better times ahead 
F      C    G                               F            C       G 
No one gets remembered, my deathless child, and soon you will be dead. 

And Peggy said. 


F          C                   G 
doesn't matter where you come from 
F   C                G 
It matters where you go 
F   C        G                                 F     C             G 
no one gets remembered, in this listless life, for the things they didn't do 

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