Verse:

         C          Bm
You know Dasher and Dancer
    D9          G
And Prancer and Vixen
C         Bm
Comet and Cupid
    D9         G
And Donner and Blitzen

Em     B7     Em
But do you re-call
         A9     A7          D7  GdimD7
The most famous reindeer of all?

Chorus:

G
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
                GdimD7
Had a very shin-y nose
And if you ever saw it
               D+     G    GdimD7
You would even say it glows

G
All of the other reindeer
                       GdimD7
Used to laugh and call him names
They wouldn't let poor Rudolph
                     G    G7
Join in any reindeer games

C              G         G#dim
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Am7   D7      G
Santa came to say,
D                  DM7     D#dim
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
A9        A7       D7
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

G
Then how the reindeer loved him
                    Gdim D7
As they shouted out with glee
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
                        G  D7
You'll go down in histo-ry.

Repeat Chorus:

         Am7G6
