[D] I peeked [G] in to [A7] say good [D] night
[G] When I [A7] heard my [G] child in [D] prayer
Send dear [E7] God some [A7] scarlet [D] ribbons
[G] Scarlet [A7] ribbons [G] for my [D] hair
All the [A7] stores were [D] closed and [G] shuttered
All the [B7] streets were [E7] dark and [A7] bare
[D] In our [E7] town no [A7] scarlet [D] ribbons
[G] Not one [A7] ribbon [G] for her [D] hair
Through the [A7] night my [D] heart was [G] aching
Just be-[B7]fore the [E7] dawn was [A7] breaking
[D] I peeked [G] in and [A7] on her [D] bed
In [G] gay pro-[A7]fusion [G] lying [D] there
I saw [G] ribbons [A7] scarlet [D] ribbons
[G] Scarlet [A7] ribbons [G] for her [D] hair
{c: extra verse sung by others}
If I [A7] live to [D] be a [G] hundred
I will [B7] never [E7] know from [A7] where
[D] Came those [G] lovely [A7] scarlet [D] ribbons
[G] Scarlet [A7] ribbons [G] for [A7] her [D] hair
