[F] [C]
[F] [C]
[F] Pretty paper, pretty ribbons [C] of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling [F] from you
Pretty pencils [Bb] [F] to write I [Bb] love you
[Am] [Gm] [F] Pretty paper, [C] pretty ribbons [F] of blue
[C]
[F] [C] [F] Crowded streets, [C] busy feet, [F] hustled by him
Downtown shoppers, [C] Christmas [F] is nigh
There he sits, all alone on [Bb] a sidewalk
Hoping [G] you won't pass [C] him by
Should [F] you stop?
[C] Better not, much [F] too busy
You're in a hurry, [C] my how time [F] does fly
In the distance is the ringing [Bb] of laughter
And in [F] the midst of [C] the laughter [F] he cried
[C]
[Dm] [C] [F] Pretty paper, pretty ribbons [C] of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling [F] from you
Pretty pencils to write I [Bb] love you
Oh, [F] pretty paper, [C] pretty ribbons [F] of blue
[Bb] Oh, [F] pretty paper, [C] pretty ribbons [F] of blue
