Version 1
[Verse 1]
D G
My wife says to me, “Let’s not ride the old coupe,
A7 D
Hitch up once again the one-horse open sleigh.”
G
The horse was awful mad, if he could talk he’d say,
A7 D
"You’ll be sorry you hitched me to a one-horse open sleigh."
[Chorus 1]
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D E7 A A7
It ain’t fun like it used to be in a one-horse open sleigh.
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D A7 D
I should have worn long underwear in that one-horse open sleigh.
[Verse 2]
D G
Dashing through the snow with the cold wind in our face,
A7 D
I can’t hold the horse, he thinks he’s in a race.
G
He kicks snow on us, it his us on the chest,
A7 D
I’ll bet that we’re the coldest Swedes in the whole darn Middle West.
[Chorus 2]
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D E7 A A7
My wife sure hates sleigh bells since we rode that one-horse sleigh.
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D A7 D
We’re too old for riding in a A7 one-horse open sleigh.
[Verse 3]
D G
Night is awful dark, can’t see beyond my nose.
A7 D
I can’t blink my eyes, my eyeballs must be froze.
G
I can’t hear my wife yell, I can’t see her face,
A7 D
I guess I must have lost her when we turned at the Yonssons’ place.
[Chorus 3]
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D E7 A A7
I nearly caught pneumonia in that one-horse open sleigh.
D D7
Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,
G D A7 D
I wouldn’t make brass monkeys ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
