|JINGLE BELLS|
/\/\/\/\/\/\
It's an easy christmas song, but you sometimes have to play 2 chords in one bar.
Verse 1:
--------
D G
Dashing through the ' snow, in a ' one-horse open sleigh,
A A7 D
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
D G
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
A A7 D
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song to-night, oh
Chorus:
-------
D D7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
G D (Em E7) A A7
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
D D7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
G D (A A7) D
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Verse 2: [play the same chords as in Verse 1)
--------
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
We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot. Oh!
Chorus
------
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 at me as I there lay but quickly drove away. Oh!
Chorus
------
Verse 4:
--------
Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls along and sing this sleighing song
Just bet a bobtailed bay, Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead. Oh!
Chorus
------
[last line:] G D A A7 D
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one....horse o....pen sleigh...
