Peggy Sue Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Peggy Sue chord chart by Buddy Holly. This is a super fun song in the key of A which means we get to use 3 simple beginner chords - A, D & E.
I love when that happens!
There is one small measure in the chorus where we have to play an F chord. Sorry!!! But…you can always play Fmaj7 to make it easier.
