I peeked in to say good night

When I heard my child in prayer
C D7 G
Send dear God some scarlet ribbons
C D7 C G
Scarlet ribbons for my hair
D7 G C
All the stores were closed and shuttered
E7 A7 D7
All the streets were dark and bare
G C D7 G
In our town no scarlet ribbons
C D7 C G
Not one ribbon for her hair
D7 G C
Through the night my heart was aching
E7 A7 D7
Just before the dawn was breaking
G C D7 G
I peeked in and on her bed
C D7 C G
In gay pro fusion lying there
C D7 G
I saw ribbons scarlet ribbons
C D7 C G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
D7 G C
If I live to be a hundred
E7 A7 D7
I will never know from where
G C D7 G
Came those lovely scarlet ribbons
C D7 C D7 G
Scarlet ribbons for her hair
