Pretty Paper

       D             A          G     F#m  E7  D
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
          A7                           D
Wrap your presents to your darling from you

Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
       D             A         G      F#m  E7  D
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue


[Verse 1: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
        D             A            D
Crowded streets, busy feet, hustle by him
         D         A7          D
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
             D         D7          G
And there he sits all alone on the sidewalk
E7                             A
Hoping that you won't pass him by


[Verse 2: Dolly Parton with Willie Nelson]
           D            A             D
Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
            D      A            D
You're in a hurry, my, how time flies
           D             D7         G
And in the distance; the ringing of laughter
           D            A            D
And in the midst of the laughter, he cries


[Chorus: Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Both]
       D                        A
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
          A7                            D
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
       D                           D7            G
Pretty pencils (Pretty pencils) to write "I love you"
           D             A          D      A#  C  A#
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue


[Chorus]

Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
          A#7                           D#   A#  C  A#
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
       D#         D#7           G#     G#m
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
           D#            A#         D#     G#m
Oh, pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
