Pretty Paper

D  A  D  A


[Chorus]

       D                        A
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your present to your darlin' 
     D
from you
                   D7           G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
               D           A      
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty 
     D
ribbons of blue.


[Verse 1]

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


[Verse 2]

           D             A        
Should you stop? Better not, much 
   D
to busy
                      A            
You'd better hurry, my how time 
  D
does fly
                        D7         
And in the distance the ringing of 
G
laughter
           D            A         
And in the midst of the laughter 
  D
he cries.


[Chorus]

       D                        A
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your present to your darlin' 
     D
from you
                  D7           G
Pretty pencils to write I love you
              D             A     
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty 
     D
ribbons of blue.
              D             A     
Oh, Oh pretty paper, pretty 
     D
ribbons of blue...
