Always show SP2013 Ribbon across SharePoint

Question

I am using Office 365 SharePoint site and I would like to set the ribbon to always be visible.

When I go to a document library its hidden by default, when I select a file two tabs show 'Files' and 'Library' I then have to click on one of the tabs to see the commands in the ribbon

I would like it so when I go to any libraries /lists the ribbon is visible and I can see the commands.

How would I do this?

EDIT = Script editor with code

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

try{
  var tabs=document.querySelectorAll("li[role='tab']"),    //all tabs, see mum, No jQuery!
  tabid=tabs[1].id,    //second tab
  tabname=tabid.split('-title')[0];    //disregard the last part of the id
  console && console.info('opening tab:',tabname);
  SelectRibbonTab(tabname);    //standard SP function from init.js 
}
catch(e){}    //ignore any errors, sloppy coding but SP also uses this all over the place

});
</script>

All tabs are identified by names like Ribbon.Read Ribbon.WikiTabPage;
you can check the HTML source

Pages, TaskList, List, Library Tabs all have different names

This code (I did not include the wait for pageload) just opens the second tab:

try{
 var tabs=document.querySelectorAll("li[role='tab']"),//all tabs, see mum, No jQuery!
     tabid=tabs[1].id,//second tab
     tabname=tabid.split('-title')[0];//disregard the last part of the id
  console && console.info('opening tab:',tabname);
  SelectRibbonTab(tabname);//standard SP function from init.js 
}catch(e){}//ignore any errors, sloppy coding but SP also uses this all over the place

If you want more advanced interactions with the Ribbon:

Thanks for the reply, but where do I put this code? – Matt Saunders Dec 19 '15 at 11:42
Anywhere you want it executed, a CEWP on page for one page, in your MasterPage for every page, or with CSR, spent a weekend learning JS+SP – Danny '365CSI' Engelman Dec 19 '15 at 11:54
I have added a script editor webpart and added the code but nothing happens, see my original posts for screenshot – Matt Saunders Dec 19 '15 at 12:13
If you do not have a JavaScript drivers license I can not drive the car for you. Learn how to add (and debug) executing JavaScript on SP pages – Danny '365CSI' Engelman Dec 19 '15 at 12:15
I clearly do not know anything about javascript, posting half an answer is not very helpful – Matt Saunders Dec 19 '15 at 12:43
You are free to ignore it. – Danny '365CSI' Engelman Dec 19 '15 at 13:55
