             G             D7         C  G
(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)

        G                         D
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
           D7               D            G
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                   G7           C
Pretty pencils to write I love you
        G             D7          C  G
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Chorus:
           G          D7           G
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
                     D7          G
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
                    G7          C
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
 A               A7             D  D7
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

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