Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells by James Lord Pierpont

D                                            G
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh
Em                 A7                   D
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way
                                        G
Bells on bob tails ring, making spirits bright
Em                A7                              D      A7
What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight

(Chorus)
    D
Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
G               D               E7             A7
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
D
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
G               D               A7             D
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
 
  D                                    G
A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
    Em              A7                      D
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side
                                                   G
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
   Em         A7                             D      A7
We got into a drifted bank and then we got upsot

(Chorus)

  D                                G
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
  Em                       A7           D
I went out on the snow and on my back I fell
                                         G
A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh
   Em                 A7                          D      A7
He laughed at me as I there lay but quickly drove away.

(Chorus)
 
D                                           G
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Em              A7                           D
Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song
                                           G
Just bet a bobtailed bay, two forty as his speed
Em              A7                                     D    A7
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead.

(Chorus)
