[Intro]
C C G G/C
[Verse]
C Dm G C
I peeped in, to say goodnight
F G F C
And then I heard, my child in prayer
Dm G7 C
And for me some scarlet ribbons
F G Dm C/G
Scarlet ribbons, for my hair
[Verse]
F G7 C
All the stores, were locked and shuttered
F G Dm C
All the streets, were dark and bare
F G C
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Dm G Dm C/G
No scarlet ribbons, for her hair
[Bridge]
C G7 C F
Through the night, my heart was aching
Em Dm G
Just, before the dawn was breaking
[Verse]
C Dm G C
I peeped in and on her bed
F Dm C
In gay profusion, lying there
F C/G
Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons
F G Dm7/G G
Pretty scarlet ribbons, for her hair
[Verse]
C F
If I live, to be a hundred
Dm/E G7
I will never, know from whe-ere
C D C/G
Came those lovely, scarlet ribbons
F G Dm G7 C C
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair
