Sleigh Ride

Words & Music:

Mitchell Parish & Leroy Anderson

 

                C            Am        Dm        G        C    Am   Dm

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring ting tingling, too.

G        C      Am                 Dm             G          C   Am  Dm

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

G        C       Am             Dm          G            C   Am  Dm

Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling "Yoo hoo!"

G        C      Am                 Dm          G             C

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

 

BRIDGE 1:

      F#m                 B              E

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, let's go!  Let's look at the show.

F#m               B             E

We're riding in a wonderland of snow.

      Em                  A               D

Giddy up, giddy up, giddy up, it's grand, just holding your hand.

Dm                                   G

We're gliding along with a song of a wint'ry fairy land!

 

Our cheeks are nice and rosy and comfy cozy are we.

We're snuggled up together like two birds of a feather would be.

Let's take that road before us and sing a chorus or two.

Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you.

 

BRIDGE 2:

          CM7

There's a birthday party at the home of Farmer Gray

CM7

It'll be the perfect ending a perfect day

         C                    F                G            Am

We'll be singing the songs we love to sing without a single stop,

E                  F#m              B         E    Dm        G

At the fireplace while we watch the chestnuts pop. Pop! pop! pop!

CM7

There's a happy feeling nothing in the world can buy,

When they pass around the chocolate and the pumpkin pie

      C                F                G           Am

It'll nearly be like a picture print by Currier and Ives

Dm                                         G

These wonderful things are the things we remember all through our lives!
