D A D A 
       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       
Crowded streets, busy feet hustle by him  
                   A            D     
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh  
                  D7           G         
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk  
E7                             A    
Hoping that you won't pass him by.  
   
           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.  
   
       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...
