Verse
G# C# G#
Got me a ribbon, bright blue ribbon for my hair
D#
made me a promise, now I know he didn’t care
G# C# G#
Touched by his first kiss, fooled by his first song
D# G#
The way he led me along with my ribbons undone
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
D#
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
G# C# G#
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
D# G#
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
[Bridge]

Sad for me baby so bad for me baby ooh-o-hoo

Hard on me baby so far from me baby ooh-o-hoo
[Chorus]
G# C# G#
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you

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