[Intro]
E B7
[Verse 1]
E A B7 E A
I peeked in to say goodnight
B7 E
Then I heard my child in prayer
A B7 E A
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
B7 E
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
[Verse 2]
A B7 E A
All the stores were closed and shuttered
B7 E
All the streets were dark and bare
A B7 E A
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
B7 E
Not one ribbon for her hair
[Bridge]
B7 E A
Through the night my heart was aching
B E B7
Just before the dawn was breaking
[Verse 3]
E A B7 E
I peeked in and on her bed
A E7 E
In gay profusion lying there
A B7 E A
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons
B7 E
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[Outro]
E A
If I live to be a hundred
B7 E B7
I will never know from where
E A B7 E A
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
B7 A B7 E A E
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
