A    *

[Verse 1]
A        D     E             A
I peeked in,     to say good-night,
D            E         D        A      *
  and then I heard, my child in prayer.
A       D    E            A
And for me,  some scarlet ribbons,
D         E        D      A     *
  scarlet ribbons, for my hair.

[Verse 2]
A         D       E                 A
  All our stores,   were closed and shuttered,
D         E             D       A     *
  all the streets, were dark en bare.
A      D     E            A
In our town,   no scarlet ribbons,
D         E        D       A     *
  scarlet ribbons, for her hair.

[Chorus 1]
 A           E7       A7        Dsus4     D
 Through the night my heart was a    -    ching.
|        4/4         |  2/4    |  4/4    | 4/4  |

 E       D        Bm       D      E7
 Just be-fore the dawn was brea - king.
|        4/4     |  2/4   |  4/4 | 4/4  |

[Verse 3]
A        D       E      A
I peeked in, and on her bed,
D          E       D     A     *
in gay pro-fusion, lying there.
A      D        E       A
Lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,
D       E        D       A     *
scarlet ribbons, for her hair.

[Chorus 2]
 A    E7      A7     Dsus4     D
 If I live to be one hun   -   dred.
|     4/4    | 2/4  |  4/4    | 4/4  |

 E       D     Bm        D     E7
 I shall never know from whe – re.
|    4/4      |  2/4    | 4/4  | 4/4  |

[Outro]
A          D       E       A
Came those lovely, scarlet ribbons,
D       E        D      E       A      D      A      *
scarlet ribbons, for    her     hai        -         r.
