Jingle Bells

C                                                                          F
Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
                            G7                            C
O'er the fields we go, laughing all the way,
C                                                         F
Bells on bobtails ring, making spirits bright,
                          G7                                             C
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight, oh

Chorus:
C                                                         C7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
F                     C                   D7                     G7
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, hey,
C                                                         C7
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way,
F                     C                   G7                      C
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Additional Verses:
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 we, we go upsot.

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.

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