A                    D          A
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
                       E
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
 A                          D             A
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
                              E          A
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

[Chorus]
 A                    D          A
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
                       E
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
 A                          D             A
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
                              E          A
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

[Verse 1]
         A                   D             A
Got me a ribbon, bright blue ribbon for my hair
                          E
made me a promise, now I know he didn’t care
               A                         D         A
Touched by his first kiss, fooled by his first song
                                E         A
The way he led me along with my ribbons undone

[Chorus]
 A                    D          A
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
                       E
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
 A                          D             A
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
                              E          A
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

[Bridge]
 D                  C                     A
Sad for me baby so bad for me baby ooh-o-hoo
 D                  C                     A
Hard on me baby so far from me baby ooh-o-hoo

[Chorus]
 A                    D          A
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
                       E
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
 A                          D             A
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
                              E          A
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

(Capo 4)

[Verse 2]
             A                 D                  A
Blue ribbon dreamer came with words that sounded right
                          E
Took me dancing held me close and held me tight
                    A                   D         A
Fooled by his first kiss touched by his first song
                                E          A
the way he led me along with my ribbons undone

[Chorus]
 A                    D          A
Ribbons of blue now remind me of you
                       E
Ribbons of red are the way that my heart bled
 A                          D             A
Memories so clear are still ringing in my ears
                              E          A
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue
