Lyrics
(G)I peeked (C6)in to (D7)say (G)goodnight,
and (G6)then I (D7)heard (C6)my child (D7)in (G)pray'r,
"And for (C6)me some (D7)scarlet (G)ribbons,
(G6)scarlet (D7)(C6)ribbons for (D7)my (G)hair."
(G)All the (C6)stores were (D7)closed and (G)shuttered,
(G6)all the (D7)streets (C6)were dark (D7)and (G)bare.
In our (C6)town no (D7)scarlet (G)ribbons,
(G6)not one (D7)(C6)ribbon for (D7)her (G)hair.
(G)Through the (D6)night my (G7)heart was (C)aching.
(Em)Just (Gmaj7)before the (Em6)dawn was (Am7)(D9)breaking,
(G)I peeked (C6)in and (D7)on her (G)bed in (G6)gay (D7)(C6)profusion (D7)lying (G)there,
lovely (C6)ribbons, (D7)scarlet (G)ribbons, (G6)scarlet (D7)(C6)ribbons for (D7)her (G)hair.
(G)If I (D6)live to (G7)be two (C)hundred,
(Em)I will (Gmaj7)never (Em6)know from (Am7)where (D9)(G)came those (C6)lovely (D7)scarlet (G)ribbons,
(G6)scarlet (D7)(C6)ribbons for (D7)her (G6)hair.
