Chords with lyrics
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
I peeked in to say good night
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
And I heard my child in prayer
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
"And for me, some scarlet ribbons
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
Scarlet ribbons for my hair"
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
All our town was closed and shuttered
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
All the streets were dark and bare
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
G+G Am7Am7 G7G7 C majorC
Through the night my heart was aching
E minorEm B7/13- Em6Em6 Am7Am7 D7D7
Just before the dawn was breaking
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
I peeked in, and on her pillow
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
In gay profusion lying there
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
I saw ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 G+G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
G+G Am7Am7 G7G7 C majorC Am7Am7
If I live to be a hundred
E minorEm B7/13- Em6Em6 Am7Am7 D7D7
I will never know from where
G+G Am7Am7 D7D7 G+G
Came those ribbons, scarlet ribbons
Am7Am7 D7D7 Am7Am7 D9D9 G+G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
