Here is another song by the Browns 50s vintage. Scarlet Ribbons was a
big song for them. This is my version of this beautiful song.
Thanks,

SCARLET RIBBONS
Recorded on RCA Victor in the 50s by Jim Ed, Maxine and
Bonnie Brown.
slow 3/4 time (waltz) my favorite key on guitar E
E I peeked A in to B7 say good E night
A when I B7 heard my A child in E prayer,
And for A me some B7 scarlet E ribbons
A scarlet B7 ribbons A for my E hair.
All the B7 stores were closed and A shuttered
C# All the streets were F# dark and B7 bare.
E In our A town no B7 scarlet E ribbons
A scarlet B7 ribbons A for her E hair.
Through the B7 night my E heart was A aching
C# Just before the F# dawn was B7 breaking,
E I peeked A in and B7 on her E bed
in A gay pro B7 fusion A lying E there
I saw A ribbons B7 scarlet E ribbons
A scarlet B7 ribbons A for her E hair.
If I B7 live to E be a A hundred
C# I will never F# know from B7 where
E Came those A lovely B7 scarlet E ribbons
A scarlet B7 ribbons A for B7 her E hair.
