The most famous reindeer of all?

Chorus:

G
Rudolph, the Red-nosed Reindeer
D
Had a very shiny nose,
D
And if you ever saw it,
G
You would even say it glows!

G
All of the other reindeer
D
Used to laugh and call him names,
D
They never let poor Rudolph
G
Join in any reindeer games.

45

C G
Then one foggy Christmas eve,
D G
Santa came to say:
A7
“Rudolph with your nose so bright,
Am7 D7
Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

G
Then how the Reindeer loved him
D
As they shouted out with glee:
D
“Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer,
G
You’ll go down in history!”

46

The First Noel
A E D A
“The first Noel”, the angel did say
D A E7 A
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay,
A E D A
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
A E7 A
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
A E D A
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
E7 A
Born is the King of Israel.

A E D A
They looked up and saw a star
D A E7 A
Shining in the East beyond them far
A E D A
And to the earth it gave great light
A E7 A
And so it continued both day and night.
A E D A
E7 A

47

A E D A
And by the light of that same star
D A E7 A
Three wise men came from country afar
A E D A
To seek for a King was their intent
A E7 A
And to follow the star where ever it went.
A E D A
E7 A

White Christmas
(Irving Berlin)

C G7 Am7 Dm7 G
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Dm7 G C G
Just like the ones I used to know,
C Am
When the tree tops glisten
F Fm
And children listen
C Em7 Am7 Dm7 G
To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

C G7 Am7 Dm7 G
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas
Dm7 G C G
With every Christmas card I write.
C C7 F Fm6
May your days be merry and bright,
C F G7 C
And may all your Christmases be white.

52

In the moon of winter time
Dm
Twas in the moon of winter-time
Am Dm
When all the birds had ﬂed,
Dm
That mighty Gitchi-Manitou
Am Dm
Sent Angel-choirs instead;
F A7
Before their light the stars grew dim,
Dm Am7
And wondering hunters heard the hymn.
Dm Am D m Am Dm
Jesus your king is born, Jesus is born,
Am D m
In excelsis gloria.

Dm
Within a lodge of broken bark
Am Dm
The tender Babe was found,
Dm
A ragged robe of rabbit skin
Am Dm
Enwrapped His beauty ‘round;
F A7
But as the hunter braves drew nigh,
Dm Am7
The angel-song rang loud and high.
Dm Am D m Am Dm
Am D m
In excelsis gloria.

53

Dm
O children of the forest free
Am Dm
O sons of Manitou
Dm
The holy child of earth and heav’n
Am Dm
Is born this day for you
F A7
Come kneal before the radiant boy
Dm Am7
Who brings you beauty, peace and joy
Dm Am D m Am Dm
Am D m
In excelsis gloria.

he’s loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
Fm B maj7 E maj7
And ev’ry mother’s child is gonna spy,
Am D F G7
to see if reindeer really know how to fly.

55

C Dm Em7 Dm7
And so, I’m oﬀering this simple phrase,

although it’s been said many times, many ways,
F G C
“Merry Christmas to you!”
