Verse
B E B
Got me a ribbon, bright blue ribbon for my hair
F#
made me a promise, now I know he didn’t care
B E B
Touched by his first kiss, fooled by his first song
F# B
The way he led me along with my ribbons undone
[Chorus]
B E B
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
F#
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
B E B
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
F# B
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
[Bridge]
E D B
Sad for me baby so bad for me baby ooh-o-hoo
E D B
Hard on me baby so far from me baby ooh-o-hoo
[Chorus]
B E B
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you

Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
B E B
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
F# B
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
