[Verse 1]
MDy wife says to me, “Let’s not ride the old coupeG,
Hitch up once agA7ain the one-horse open sDleigh.”
The horse was awful mad, if he could talk he’d sGay,
"You’ll be sorry yA7ou hitched me to a one-horse open sDleigh."
[Chorus 1]
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
It aGin’t fun like it uDsed to be in a oE7ne-horse open sAleigh.A7  
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
I sGhould have worn long uDnderwear in that oA7ne-horse open sDleigh.
[Verse 2]
DDashing through the snow with the cold wind in our fGace,
I can’t hold the hA7orse, he thinks he’s in a rDace.
He kicks snow on us, it his us on the cGhest,
I’ll bet that we’re the cA7oldest Swedes in the whole darn Middle WDest.
[Chorus 2]
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
MGy wife sure hates sDleigh bells since we rE7ode that one-horse sAleigh.A7  
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
WGe’re too old for rDiding in a  A7A7 one-horse open sDleigh.
[Verse 3]
NDight is awful dark, can’t see beyond my nGose.
I can’t blink my eA7yes, my eyeballs must be fDroze.
I can’t hear my wife yell, I can’t see her fGace,
I guess I must have lA7ost her when we turned at the Yonssons’ pDlace.
[Chorus 3]
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
I nGearly caught pneumDonia in that oE7ne-horse open sAleigh.A7  
YDingle bells, yingle bells, yingling all the way,D7  
I wGouldn’t make brass mDonkeys ride in a oA7ne-horse open sDleigh.

[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.”

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.

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.

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.
