Bb       Cm7   F7       Bb
I peeked in to say good night,
Cm7   F7       Cm7      Bb
and I heard my child in prayer.
Bb      Cm7      F7      Bb
And for me, some scarlet ribbons,
Cm7     F7      Cm7    Bb
scarlet ribbons for my hair.

Bb      Cm7         F7         
All the stores were closed and 
Bb
shuttered,
Cm7     F7           Cm7      Bb
all the streets were dark and bare.

I peeked in, and on her bed,

in gay profusion, lying there.

lovely ribbons, scarlet ribbons,

scarlet ribbons for her hair.
