Chorus:
                                  B
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
                                         E
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
                                A
Pretty pencils to write I love you
         E             B7        E  B
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

          E           B               E  B
Crowded street, busy feet, hustle by him
             E    B              E
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
                     E7              A   F#
There he sits, all alone on the sidewalk
                                B
Hoping that you won't pass him by

Should you stop? Better not, much too busy
You'd better hurry, my how time does fly
And in the distance the ringing of laughter
(Willie Nelson)
And in the midst of the laughter he cries

Chorus - x2
