Over the River and Through the Woods

G
Over the river and through the wood,
        C                   D7         G
To Grandfather's house we go;
         D7        
The horse knows the way
       G
To carry the sleigh,
                      A7                       D      D7
Through the white and drifted snow, oh!
G
Over the river and through the wood,
         C          D7             G
Oh, how the wind does blow!
      C           D7
It stings the toes,
         G
And bites the nose,
       D                            G
As over the ground we go.

G
Over the river and through the wood,
        C       D7          G
To have a first-rate play;
        D7
Oh, hear the bell ring,
     G
"Ting-a-ling-ling!"
        A7                            D    D7
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day-ay!
G
Over the river and through the wood,
         C           D7     G
Trot fast my dapple gray!
             C           D7
Spring over the ground,
 G
Like a hunting hound!
       D                  D7       G
For this is Thanksgiving Day.
