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.
