(Intro)
DADA
(Chorus)
DA
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
D
Wrap your present to your darlin' from you
D7G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
DAD
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
(Verse 1)
DAD
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him
AD
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
D7G
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
EA
Hoping that you won't pass him by.
(Verse 2)
DAD
Should you stop? Better not, much to busy
AD
You'd better hurry, my how time does fly
D7G
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
DAD
And in the midst of the laughter he cries.
(Chorus)
DA
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
D
Wrap your present to your darlin' from you
D7G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
DAD
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
DAD
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue...
