G

[Chorus]
       G
Pretty paper
                  D7
Pretty ribbons of blue
                                        G
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                            C  Cm
Pretty pencils write I love you
       G
Pretty papers
       D          G
Pretty ribbons of blue
C         G
Oh pretty papers
       D          G
Pretty ribbons of blue


[Verse]
      G              D7           G
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
     G             D7          G
Downtown shopping, Christmas is nigh
         G      G/B         C         Cm
There he sits, alone on the sidewalk
     A     A7                         D7
Just hopin'   that you won't pass him by
           G            D7           G
Should you stop, better not, much too busy
          G        D7              G
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
           G             G/B        C        Cm
And in the distance, the ringing of laughter
           G       D7          G        C
And in the midst of laughter he cries,  Oh


[Chorus]
       G
Pretty paper
       D          G
Pretty ribbons of blue
                           D            G
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                            C  Cm
Pretty pencils write I love you
       G
Pretty papers
       D          G
Pretty ribbons of blue
C         G
Oh pretty papers
       D          G
Pretty ribbons of blue.
