i peeped in to say goodnight
F A G D E G F

and i heard my child in prayer
D F E C D C C

and for me some scarlet ribbons, pretty scarlet ribbons for my hair
F A G D E G F C, C D E G F C D C C

all the stores were locked and shuttered
F A G D E G F C

all the streets were dark and bare
D F E C D C C

in our town no scarlet ribbons, no scarlet ribbons, for her hair
F A G D E G F C , C D F E C , D C C

through the night my heart was aching
D D E E F F A G

just before the dawn was breaking
D D E E F F A G

i peeped in and on her bed
F A G D E G F

in gay profusion, lying there.
C D F E C, D C C

scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons, pretty scarlet ribbons, for her hair.
F A G D, E G F C, C D E G F C, D E F

if i live to be a hundred
D D E E F F A G

I will never know from where
D D E E F F A G

came those lovely scarlet ribbons, scarlet ribbons for her hair
F A G D E G F C, E G F C D E F
