Pretty Paper

                                         E
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                                A
Pretty pencils to write I love you
         E             B7        E      B
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

          E            B              E    B
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
             E      B              E
Downtown shoppers,   Christmas is nigh
                                     A   G
There he sits, all alone on the sidewalk
                               B
Hoping that you won't pass him by


             E           B             E     B
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
             E        B             E   B
You better hurry, my how time does fly
             E                       A
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
             E             B          E    B
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

[Chorus]
        E             Fm         B
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
                                    E       B
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                                A
Pretty pencils to write I love you
        E       B                  E   B
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
                                    E       B
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
         E                      A
Pretty pencils to write I love you
