G        Am7    D7       G 
I peeked in to say good night 
Am7   D7        Am7     G 
And I heard my child in prayer 
  G      Am7        D7     G 
'And for me, some scarlet ribbons 
  Am7     D7     Am7     G 
Scarlet ribbons for my hair' 
G      Am7       D7           G 
All our town was closed and shuttered 
Am7       D7         Am7        G 
All the streets were dark and bare 
G       Am7      D7       G 
In our town, no scarlet ribbons 
Am7     D7      Am7      G 
Scarlet ribbons for her hair 
   G        Am7       G7       C 
Through the night my heart was aching 
Em     B7/13-  Em6      Am7   D7  
Just before the dawn was breaking 
G        Am7     D7     G 
I peeked in, and on her pillow 
    Am7    D7     Am7    G 
In gay profusion lying there 
G     Am7     D7          G 
I saw ribbons,  scarlet ribbons 
Am7      D7      Am7      G 
Scarlet ribbons for her hair 
G     Am7    G7    C   Am7 
If I live to be a hundred 
Em     B7/13- Em6       Am7   D7 
I will never know from where 
G           Am7    D7          G 
Came those ribbons,   scarlet ribbons 
Am7      D7     Am7 D9   G 
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
