Verse
C# F# C#
Got me a ribbon, bright blue ribbon for my hair
G#
made me a promise, now I know he didn’t care
C# F# C#
Touched by his first kiss, fooled by his first song
G# C#
The way he led me along with my ribbons undone
[Chorus]
C# F# C#
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
G#
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
C# F# C#
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
G# C#
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
[Bridge]
F# E C#
Sad for me baby so bad for me baby ooh-o-hoo
F# E C#
Hard on me baby so far from me baby ooh-o-hoo
[Chorus]
C# F# C#
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
G#
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
C# F# C#
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
G# C#
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
(Capo 4)

Fooled by his first kiss touched by his first song
