[Intro]
D A D A
[Chorus]
D A
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
D
Wrap your present to your darlin' from you
D7 G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
D A D
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
[Verse 1]
D A D
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
A D
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
D7 G
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
E A
Hoping that you won't pass him by.
[Verse 2]
D A D
Should you stop? Better not, much to busy
A D
You'd better hurry, my how time does fly
D7 G
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
D A D
And in the midst of the laughter he cries.
[Chorus]
D A
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
D
Wrap your present to your darlin' from you
D7 G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
D A D
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
D A D
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue...
