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

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ear
So I wanna send to you
My Ol' ribbons of blue

Got me a ribbon
Bright blue ribbon for my hair
Made me a promise
Now I know he didn't care
Touched by his first kiss
Fooled by his first song
The way he led me along
With my ribbons undone

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ear
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

 G#                 F#                     D#
Sad for me baby so bad for me baby ooh-o-hoo
 G#                 F#                     D#
Hard on me baby so far from me baby ooh-o-hoo

Ribbons of blue
Now remind me of you
Ribbons of red
Are the way that my heart bled
Memories so clear
Are still ringing in my ear
So I wanna send to you my old ribbons of blue

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

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