B7   x-2-1-2-0-2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro]
       E             B7         A     E
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
[Verse]
B7        E            B7          E
  Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him

         E         B7           E
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh

         E         E7          A
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk

F#                             B7
Hoping that you won't pass him by
[Verse]
           E            B7            E
Should you stop, better not, much too busy

            E         B7            E
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly

           E            E7         A
And in the distance the ringing of laughter

           E            B7          E      B7
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
[Chorus]
       E                        B7
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

          B7                            E
Wrap your presents to your darling from you

       E          E7            A
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"

       E             B7         A     E
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
