Scarlet Ribbons chords by Jim Ed Brown

Chords with lyrics

G+G    C majorC   D7D7    G+G
I peeked in to say good night

C majorC   D7D7    C majorC    G+G
When I heard my child in prayer

     C majorC    D7D7   G+G
Send dear God some scarlet ribbons

C majorC    D7D7   C majorC   G+G
Scarlet ribbons for my hair


    D7D7     G+G     C majorC
All the stores were closed and shuttered

    E7E7      A7A7    D7D7
All the streets were dark and bare

G+G   C majorC    D7D7   G+G
In our town no scarlet ribbons

C majorC    D7D7   C majorC    G+G
Not one ribbon for her hair

      D7D7    G+G     C majorC
Through the night my heart was aching

    E7E7    A7A7    D7D7
Just before the dawn was breaking

G+G    C majorC   D7D7   G+G
I peeked in and on her bed

  C majorC    D7D7   C majorC   G+G
In gay pro fusion lying there

   C majorC    D7D7   G+G
I saw ribbons scarlet ribbons

C majorC    D7D7   C majorC    G+G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair


   D7D7   G+G  C majorC
If I live to be a hundred

    E7E7  A7A7    D7D7
I will never know from where

G+G     C majorC   D7D7   G+G
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons

C majorC    D7D7   C majorC  D7D7 G+G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
