PRETTY PAPER (Listen to midi)
 
            D                                    A 
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue,
                                             A7                D 
wrap your presents to your darling from you.
                             D7              G 
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”.
            D                  A              G- D     - A 
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue.
 
                        D              A              D 
1. Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him,
                                           A               D 
    downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh.
                                 D7               G 
    There he sits all alone on the sidewalk,
      B7                                            A 
    hoping that you won’t pass him by.
 
                         D                 A                     D 
2. Should you stop? Better not, much too busy !
                                         A                    D 
    You’re in a hurry, my, how time does fly !
                                    D7           G 
    In the distance the ringing of laughter,
                       D                 A                 D 
    and in the midst of the laughter he cries.
 
+ CHORUS
 
    (midi = capo 5th, differs widely from original)
(Roy Orbison)
