Jingle Bells Lyrics with Chords

[Verse]
[G]Dashing through the snow,
in a one-horse open [Cadd9]sleigh.
O’er the fields we [D/F#]go,
laughing all the [G]way.
[G]Bells on bobtails ring,
making spirits [Cadd9]bright.
What fun it is to [D/F#]ride and sing
a sleighing song to[G]night.

[Chorus]
Oh! [G]Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way.
[Cadd9]Oh, what fun it [G]is to ride
in a [D/F#]one-horse open sleigh. Hey!

Oh! [G]Jingle bells, jingle bells,
jingle all the way.
[Cadd9]Oh, what fun it [G]is to ride
in a [D/F#]one-horse open [G]sleigh.
