Scarlet Ribbons Harry Belafonte
[G]I peeked [Am7]in to s[D7]ay good n[G]ight,
A[Am7]nd I h[D7]eard my ch[Am7]ild in p[G]rayer.
"A[G]nd for [Am7]me, some sc[D7]arlet r[G]ibbons,
Sc[Am7]arlet ri[D7]bbons f[Am7]or my ha[G]ir."
A[G]ll our [Am7]town was c[D7]losed and shu[G]ttered,
[Am7]All the st[D7]reets were [Am7]dark and ba[G]re;
[G]In our t[Am7]own, no s[D7]carlet ri[G]bbons,
[Am7]Scarlet [D7]ribbons [Am7]for her h[G]air.
Bridge 1:
Thr[G]ough the [Am7]night my h[G7]eart was [C]aching;
J[Em]ust bef[B+]ore the [Em6]dawn was [Am7]break-[D7]ing,
[G]I peeked [Am7]in, and [D7]on her [G]pillow,
In g[Am7]ay prof[D7]usion l[Am7]ying th[G]ere,
[G]I saw [Am7]ribbons,[D7] scarlet ri[G]bbons,
[Am7]Scarlet r[D7]ibbons f[Am7]or her ha[G]ir.
Bridge 2:
[G]If I l[Am7]ive to [G7]be a h[C]un-d[Am7]red
[Em]I will [B+]never k[Em6]now from w[Am7]here[D7]
[G]Came those r[Am7]ibbons,[D7] scarlet r[G]ibbons,
[Am7]Scarlet r[D7]ibbons [Am7]for [D9]her h[G]air.
