[Intro]
E B7 A E
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
[Verse]
B7 E B7 E
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
E B7 E
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
E E7 A
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
F# B7
Hoping that you won't pass him by
[Verse]
E B7 E
Should you stop, better not, much too busy
E B7 E
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
E E7 A
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
E B7 E B7
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
[Chorus]
E B7
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
B7 E
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
E E7 A
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
E B7 A E
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
