[Verse 1]
A        D     E             A
I peeked in,     to say good-night,
D            E         D        
  and then I heard, my child in 
A      *
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             
  All our stores,   were closed 
    A
and shuttered,
D         E             D       
  all the streets, were dark en 
A     *
bare.
A      D     E            A
In our town,   no scarlet ribbons,
D         E        D       A     *
  scarlet ribbons, for her hair.
