Chords for "Ribbons Down My Back" - Hello Dolly

_ Why have I decided to marry Coruscant?
Oh, Mrs.
Molloy, I told you that!
Another child around has got to be such a personal question.
_ _ As long as you did bring it up.
I'm marrying [G] Coruscant, Yelder, for one reason, and one reason alone, Minnie.
I hate cats.
Oh, Mrs.
Molloy.
And [Bb] I can no longer stand of being [F] a suspected woman with nothing to show for it.
Oh, Mrs.
Molloy.
_ [G] Don't protest, Minnie.
All male nurses are suspected of being wicked women.
Well, that's why I can't go to restaurants, or [N] balls, or theaters. _ _ _
_ _ _ That's what the food they eat.
Take my word for it, Minnie.
Either I'll marry Coruscant, Yelder, or I break out of this place like a pirate! _ _
_ _ Not Miss Mortimer again.
Miss Mortimer, I'll take care of it.
No, Minnie. _ _ _
[G] You can make Miss Mortimer _ another husband you'd like.
_ I'm wearing this one myself.
Oh, Mrs.
Molloy, you can't!
You're a widow.
[F] A long hat.
[G] _
_ _ _ And [N] provocative, that's what!
_ Is it?
_ [F] _ _ _
Who knows when they welcome [Bb] to the shop today?
_ [F]
And provocative may [Gm] be just what I want to be. _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I'll be _ _ [G] wearing ribbons [Gm] on my [A] _
back [D] this summer _ _
_ [Dm] _ And _ _ _ green [Gm] ends dripping in [C] the _ _ yellow [F] sky
_ [A] So _ _
[Dm] _ _ if _ someone [Gm]
special comes my _ [A] way
_ [D] _
Somebody _ [B] _ _ _ [Em] might notice [Bb] me _ [Gb] passing [Dm] _
_ [D] _ by
[B] And so I'll [Em] try to make it easier [Am] to fly
_ [Dm] [D] In the stillness of [Bm] July
[Em] Because a breeze might stir a rainbow [A] behind
[G] But [D] my talent [Bm] you catch [E] with a [A] gentleman's eye
[Dm] And he might _ smile [Gm] and take me by the _ [A] hand This [D] _ summer _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] Making _ me _ [Gm]
recall how love [C] _ _ _ can [Eb] _ _ _ [D] be
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [C] And he might [F] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Dm] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Gm] smile and take [C] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Gm] me by [F] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ the hand This summer
Making _ _ _ me recall [F]
how love can be _ _ _ _ _ _
