[Intro]
E7 A9 x2
[Verse 1]
E7
Dashing through the snow
A9
In a one horse open sleigh
E7
O'er the fields we go
A9
Laughing all the way
E7
Bells on bob tails ring
A9
Making spirits bright
E7
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A9
A sleighing song tonight
[Chorus]
E7 A9
Oh, jingle bells, oh jingle bells
A9
Jingle all the way
E7
Oh, what fun it is to ride
A9
In a one horse open sleigh
E7
Jingle bells, oh jingle bells
A9
Jingle all the way
E7
Oh, what fun it is to ride
A9
In a one horse open sleigh
