[Verse 1]
G Am D G I peeped in to say good night C D C G Where I saw my child in prayer G Am D G "Send for me some scarlet ribbons C D C G D - Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
[Verse 2]
G Am D7 G All the stores were closed and shuttered C D C G - All the streets were dark and bare G Am D7 G In our town no scarlet ribbons C D C G - Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[Chorus]
G Am Bm C All the night my heart was aching Am Bm C G D Just before the dawn was breaking
[Verse 3]
G Am D7 G I peeped in and on her bed C D C G In gay profusion lying there G Am D7 G I saw lovely scarlet ribbons C D C G - Scarlet ribbons for her hair
[Chorus]
G Am Bm C If I live to be a hundred Am Bm C D7 I will never know from where
[Outro]
G Am D7 G Came those lovely scarlet ribbons C D7 C D G C G - Scarlet ribbons for her hair
