[Intro]
D  D  A  A/D
(arpeggio)
[Verse 1]
D        Em     A7      D
I peeped in, to say goodnight

    G      A7        G        D
And then I heard, my child in prayer

        Em      A7         D
And for me some scarlet ribbons

G          A7     G     D/A
Scarlet ribbons, for my hair
[Verse 2]
D       Em            A7         D
All the stores, were locked and shuttered

G       A7             G       D
All the streets, were dark and bare

D      G        A7        D
In our town, no scarlet ribbons

   G         A7      G      D/A
No scarlet ribbons, for her hair
[Bridge]
D           A7        D         G
Through the night, my heart was aching

Em     F#m        G       A7sus
Just, before the dawn was breaking
[Verse 3]
D        Em     A      D
I peeped in and on her bed

   G       A7      G     D
In gay confusion, lying there

D         Em     A7       D
Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons

       G         A7      G      D
Pretty scarlet ribbons, for her hair
[Verse 4]
D     Dmaj7    D7   G
 If I live, to be a hundred

Em     F#M    G         A7
I will never, know from whe-ere

D          Em      A7      D
Came those lovely, scarlet ribbons

G         A7     Em  A7  D     
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair
