Verse 1: G Dashing through the snow, C in a one-horse open sleigh, Am D7 o’er the fields we go, G laughing all the way. Bells on bobtail ring, C making spirits bright, Am D what fun it is to ride and sing D7 G a sleighing song tonight. Chorus (sing it twice): G Jingle bells, jingle bells, C G jingle all the way! C G Oh what fun it is to ride A7 D7 1. in a one-horse open sleigh! D7 G 2. in a one-horse open sleigh! Verse 2: G A day or two ago, C I thought I’d take a ride, Am D7 and soon Miss Fanny Bright G was seated by my side. The horse was lean and lank, C misfortune seemed his lot, Am D we ran into a drifted bank D7 G and there we got upsot. Chorus (sing it twice): G Jingle bells, jingle bells, C G jingle all the way! C G Oh what fun it is to ride A7 D7 1. in a one-horse open sleigh! D7 G 2. in a one-horse open sleigh! Verse 3: G A day or two ago, C the story I must tell: Am D7 I went out on the snow, G and on my back I fell. A gent was riding by C in a one-horse open sleigh, Am D he laughed at me as I there lay, D7 G but quickly drove away. Chorus (sing it twice): G Jingle bells, jingle bells, C G jingle all the way! C G Oh what fun it is to ride A7 D7 1. in a one-horse open sleigh! D7 G 2. in a one-horse open sleigh! Verse 4: G Now the ground is white, C go it while you’re young, Am D7 take the girls along G and sing this sleighing song. Just get a bobtailed bay, C two-forty as his speed, Am D D7 hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! G you’ll take the lead. Chorus (sing it twice): G Jingle bells, jingle bells, C G jingle all the way! C G Oh what fun it is to ride A7 D7 1. in a one-horse open sleigh! D7 G 2. in a one-horse open sleigh!

How to play Jingle Bells on ukulele
Jingle Bells runs on one pattern: d – d u – u d u. Expect a medium pace, around 120 bpm. I posted this one in its original key of G major. Nothing scary in the shapes, it sits on the easy ukulele songs list at the novice level. A bouncy island strum suits this carol; sing along at a brisk clip.

This is an ukulele website, so the chords here are going to be set up to play on the uke. It’ll sound very different of the guitar.

Jingle bells shotgun shells
Rabbits all the way
all what fun it is to ride in Grandpa’s model A hey!
Dashing through the snow in a one horse open ski
All the hills we go
Crashing into trees
The snow is turning red
I think im almost dead
I wake up in a hospital with santa on my head.
Chorus
What is the strum pattern? Did they put it on and I’m blind or is it just not there?
