[Intro]
C  C  G  G/C
(arpeggio)
 
[Verse 1]
C        Dm     G7      C
I peeped in, to say goodnight
    F      G7        F        C
And then I heard, my child in prayer
C       Dm      G7         C
And for me some scarlet ribbons
F          G7     F     C/G
Scarlet ribbons, for my hair
 
[Verse 2]
C       Dm            G7         C
All the stores, were locked and shuttered
F       G7             F       C
All the streets, were dark and bare
       F        G7        C
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
   F         G7      F      C/G
No scarlet ribbons, for her hair
 
[Bridge]
C           G7        C         F
Through the night, my heart was aching
Dm     Em        F       G7sus
Just, before the dawn was breaking
 
[Verse 3]
C        Dm     G      C
I peeped in and on her bed
   F       G7      F     C
In gay confusion, lying there
C         Dm     G7       C
Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons
       F         G7      F      C
Pretty scarlet ribbons, for her hair
 
[Verse 4]
C     Cmaj7    C7   F
 If I live, to be a hundred
Dm     EM     F         G7
I will never, know from whe-ere
C          Dm      G7      C
Came those lovely, scarlet ribbons
F         G7     Dm  G7  C
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair
