RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER
Johnny Marks (c) 1949

You know Dasher and Dancer [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Prancer and Vixen, [Dm7 Cmaj7]
Comet and Cupid [Fmaj7 Em7]
And Donner and Blitzen. [Dm7 Cmaj7]
But do you recall [Am E7 Am]
The most famous reindeer of all? [D9 G4 G7]

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) [C G7]
And if you ever saw it (saw it) [G7]
You would even say it glows (like a flash light) [C]
All of the other reindeer (reindeer) [C]
Used to laugh and call him names [C G7] (like Pinochio)
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph (Rudolph) [G7]
Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly) [G7 C]

Then one foggy Christmas Eve [F Em7 A7]
Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) [Dm7 G7 C]
Rudolph with your nose so bright [G7 Em]
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight? [Am7 D7 Dm7 G7]
Then all the reindeer loved him (loved him) [C]
And they shouted out with glee (yippee) [C G7]
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer (reindeer) [G7]
You'll go down in history (like Columbus) [G7 C]

[My kids brought home the words in parentheses from school. I assume
everyone with hids knows these also. In most cases, the words are yelled.
