[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
