Pretty Paper
     Willy Nelson
 
     Crowded [E] streets busy [B7] feet hustle [E] by him
     Downtown shoppers [B7] Christmas is [E] nigh        [run]
     There he sets all [E7] along on the [A] sidewalk [A] [G#] [F#]
     Hopping you won't pass him [B7] by
     Should I [E] stop better [B7] not much to [E] busy
     Better hurry [B7] my how time does [E] fly
     And in the [E7] distance a ringing of [A] laughter
     And in the [E] midst of the [B7] laughter he [E] cries,
 
     [chorus]
     Pretty paper pretty ribbons of [B7] blue
     Wrap your presents to your darling from [E] you
     Pretty pencils [E7]  to write I [A] love you
     Pretty [E] paper pretty [B7] ribbons of [E] blue.

     Repeat chorus and tag with:
                                            [slowly]
 
     [A] Oh pretty [E] paper pretty [B7] ribbons of [B] blue
