You know CDasher and Bm7Dancer and Am7Prancer and GVixen
CComet and Bm7Cupid and Am7Donner and GBlitzen
EmBut do you reAcall
The most A7famous reindeer of D7all?
GRudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Had a very shiny Dnose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it Gglows
All of the other reindeer
Used to laugh and call him Dnames
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer Ggames
CThen one foggy GChristmas Eve
CSanta came to Gsay
D“Rudolph, with your nose so bright
A7Won’t you guide my D7sleigh tonight?”
GThen how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with Dglee
“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You’ll go down in Ghistory!”
