INTRO: G

VERSE 1:
G C
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
D7 G
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
G C
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
D7 G
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh

CHORUS:
G G7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
C G A7 D D7
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
G G7
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.

VERSE 2:
G C
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride,
D7 G
And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side;
G C
The horse was lean and lank; Misfortune seemed his lot;
D7 G
He got into a drifted bank, And we, we got upsot.

VERSE 3:
G C
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
D7 G
I went out on the snow And on my back I fell;
G C
A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh,
D7 G
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away.

VERSE 4:
G C
Now the ground is white Go it while you're young,
D7 G
Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song;
G C
Just get a bob-tailed bay two-forty as his speed
D7 G
Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack! you'll take the lead.

ENDING: G

James Pierpont; 1857
