Scarlet Ribbons Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] _ I _ [A] peeked in [B] to say _ _ [E] goodnight
_ _ _ Then [B] I heard my child [E] in prayer _
_ _ _ _ _ And [A] for _ me, [B] _ some [E] scarlet _ _ [A] ribbons
_ [B] Scarlet ribbons _ _ for [E] my _ hair
_ _ _ _ _ All [A] the _ stores [B] were closed _ [E] and _ _ [A] shuttered
[B] All the _ streets were dark [E] and bare
_ _ _ _ _ In [A] our _ town, [B] _ no [E] scarlet _ [A] ribbons
_ _ [B] Not one ribbon _ _ for [E] her hair
_ _ _ _ Through [B] the night, [E] my _ [A] heart was _ _ aching
_ _ _ [Eb]
Just _ [E] before the dawn _ was breaking
_ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ I [A] peeked in [B] and on [E] her bed
[A] In gay [B] _ _
profusion, _ _ [E] lying _ _ there _ _ _ _ _
[A] Lovely _ _ [B] ribbons, _ [E] scarlet _ ribbons
[A] _ _ [B] Scarlet _ ribbons _ for [E] her hair
_ _ _ If I live to be [A] a hundred
_ _ _ _ _ [E] I will never _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ gain the [A] _
_ _ [B] weight
_ _ [E] Scarlet _ [A] ribbons, _ _ scarlet [B] _
ribbons
[A] For _ _ [B] her _ [E] hair
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
