Lyrics
Verse 1 Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight Chorus Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh Verse 2 A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon, Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot He got into a drifted bank And then we got upsot Verse 3 A day or two ago The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed as there I sprawling lie But quickly drove away Verse 4 Now the ground is white Go it while you're young Take the girls tonight And sing this sleighing song Just get a bobtailed bay Two forty as his speed Hitch him to an open sleigh And crack, you'll take the lead
Chords
[Verse 1]
G C
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Am D7 G
O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way.
G C
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
Am D D7 G D7
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight. Oh![Chorus]
G C G
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
C G
Oh what fun it is to ride
A7 D7
In a one-horse open sleigh, hey!
G C G
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
C G
Oh what fun it is to ride
D7 G
In a one-horse open sleigh[Verse 2]
G C
A day or two ago, I thought I’d take a ride
Am D7 G
And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side
G C
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot
Am D D7 G D7
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. Oh![Verse 3]
G C
A day or two ago, the story I must tell
Am D7 G
I went out on the snow and on my back I fell
C
A gent was riding by in a one-horse open sleigh
Am D D7 G D7
He laughed at me as I there lay but quickly drove away. Oh![Verse 4]
G C
Now the ground is white, go it while you’re young
Am D7 G
Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song
G C
Just bet a bobtailed bay, two forty as his speed
Am D D7 G D7
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you’ll take the lead. Oh!
