Ring Those Christmas Bells

Words & Music by Marvin Fisher & Gus Levine
Recorded by Peggy Lee, 1953


D          F#m      Bm Bm7/E  G/B    Em7/6 A7
Some folks like to hear  a   Christ - mas song,

    G      G/F#       Em7  A7/9 D6  F#m  G   A
But I like Christmas bells that go ding dong,

D       F#m     Bm   Bm7/E      G6   B7   E7
Jingle-jangle, ding-a-ling, or just bing-bong -- 

G/B  A7  Em7  A7    Em7   A7  D
I   love         to hear 'em ring.


Refrain:

A7   D   G  D       Cdim       A7    Em7   A7  Em7
Oh, ring      those Christmas bells, 

 A7  Em7  Am7         G     A7   D   G   D
Ring           those Christmas bells.

 D          D7          G     Fdim   E7
While they chime we'll have a happy time, 

Bm7-5  A7  Em7  Am7        G     A7   D   
 So   ring          those Christmas bells.


D   F#m      Bm   Bm7/E  G/B Em7/6 A7
Up above the stars are clear  and bright,

       G    G/F#     Em7  A7/9 D6  F#m   G   A
While all around the snow  is soft and white.

D     F#m     Bm       Bm7/E     G6 B7  E7
Santa and his reindeer soon will be in sight 

G/B  A7  Em7  A7      Em7   A7  D
And you          will hear him sing.


Repeat Refrain:


D       F#m   Bm Bm7/E G/B  Em7/6   A7
For the music of    an  o  -  pen sleigh

     G     G/F#   Em7   A7/9      D6  F#m  G   A
When ev'ry jolly jingle seems to say,

D       F#m     Bm   Bm7/E   G6   B7   E7
“Happy, happy, happy, happy hol - i - day!”  

G/B  A7  Em7  A7    Em7   A7  D
Come on         and join the fun!


Repeat Refrain:
