G        C     D7       G 
I peeked in to say good night  

C      D7        C        G 
When I heard  my child in prayer 

          C        D7      G 
Send dear God some scarlet ribbons 

C       D7      C      G 
Scarlet ribbons for my hair 


        D7          G          C 
All the stores were closed and shuttered 

        E7           A7       D7 
All the streets were dark and bare 

G      C       D7      G 
In our town no scarlet ribbons 

C       D7     C       G 
Not one ribbon for her hair 


            D7       G         C 
Through the night my heart was aching 

       E7       A7       D7 
Just before the dawn was breaking 

G        C      D7     G 
I peeked in and on her bed  

   C       D7     C     G 
In gay pro fusion lying there 

      C       D7      G 
I saw ribbons scarlet ribbons  

C       D7      C       G 
Scarlet ribbons for her hair 


     D7      G    C 
If I live to be a hundred  

       E7    A7        D7 
I will never know from where 

G          C      D7      G 
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons 
  
C       D7      C   D7  G 
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
