[Intro]
 D  D  A  A/D
(arpeggio)
 
[Verse 1]
 D        Em     A7      D
I peeped in, to say goodnight
     G      A7        G        D
And then I heard, my child in prayer
         Em      A7         D
And for me some scarlet ribbons
 G          A7     G     D/A
Scarlet ribbons, for my hair
 
[Verse 2]
 D       Em            A7         D
All the stores, were locked and shuttered
 G       A7             G       D
All the streets, were dark and bare
 D      G        A7        D
In our town, no scarlet ribbons
    G         A7      G      D/A
No scarlet ribbons, for her hair
 
[Bridge]
 D           A7        D         G
Through the night, my heart was aching
 Em     F#m        G       A7sus
Just, before the dawn was breaking
 
[Verse 3]
 D        Em     A      D
I peeped in and on her bed
    G       A7      G     D
In gay confusion, lying there
 D         Em     A7       D
Scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons
        G         A7      G      D
Pretty scarlet ribbons, for her hair
 
[Verse 4]
 D     Dmaj7    D7   G
 If I live, to be a hundred
 Em     F#M    G         A7
I will never, know from whe-ere
 D          Em      A7      D
Came those lovely, scarlet ribbons
 G         A7     Em  A7  D
Scarlet ribbons, for her hair
