Jingle Bells Chord Chart
by James Pierpont
Welcome to my Jingle Bells chord chart. Just in time for the holidays, right? Did you know Jingle Bells was actually written in my hometown of Medford, MA in 1850. Yep, it’s true. Along with “Over The River And Through The Woods”. I actually used to drive by “grandfather’s house” on an almost weekly basis. Cute little city with lots of history both good and bad.
But enough fun facts about Lauren, let’s get into the actual song which is written here in the key of C.

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon, Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side,
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot
He got into a drifted bank
And then we got upsot.
A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow,
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bobtailed bay
Two forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! You'll take the lead
