G (3) C (2)
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
D7 (2) G
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
G (3) C (2)
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
D7 (2) G (hold ½) D7 (hold ½)
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh
Chorus:
G (4)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
C G A7 D (hold ½) D7 (hold ½)
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
G (4)
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
C G D7 G
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
G (3) C (2)
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride,
D7 (2) G
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side;
G (3) C (2)
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot,
D7 (2) G (hold ½) D7 (hold ½)
He got into a drifted bank, and we, we got upsot.
Chorus
G (3) C (2)
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
D7 (2) G
I went out on the snow and on my back I fell.
G (3) C (2)
A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh,
D7 (2) G (hold ½) D7 (hold ½)
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, but quickly drove away.
Chorus
G (3) C (2)
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young,
D7 (2) G
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
G (3) C (2)
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed,
D7 (2) G (hold ½) D7 (hold ½)
Hitch him to an open sleigh, and crack! you'll take the lead.
Chorus, End on last G
