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