Hi- once again I need your help: We will go Christmas caroling again this year, and I need the chords to "Sleigh Ride together with you". I've got the lyrics, just need the chords. Any key will do, I'll just transpose to fit our voices. Thank you so much for all your help in the past! Love and Merry Christmas to all - Renata

I hope this comes out all right and that you can use it. These are the chords I use when I play this song on the 5-string banjo.

It looks although the repeat brackets drifted a bit. It's easy to figure out where they belong.

You guys are amazing! I'm still having trouble matching The Banjoest chords to the words. Are they ever tricky! If anyone has the words with the chords written over them, I'd sure appreciate it!
Merry merry - Love Renata

Renata:

I'm sorry I don't. I only play this song as an instrumental so I haven't worried about the lyrics. I'm sure if you keep on working at it you'll get the chords in the right place. Keep in mind the "repeat brackets" (1------, 2------)have drifted a bit.

C             Am    Dm7      G          C      Am
Just hear those sleigh bells jingling, ring-ting-tingling, too
Dm7   G          C       Am             Dm7       G                  C    Am   Dm7
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
      G          C         Am            Dm7         G               C      Am
Outside the snow is falling and friends are calling, 'Yoo-hoo!'
Dm7   G          C       Am             Dm7       G                  C    Am   Dm7
Come on, it's lovely weather for a sleigh ride together with you
         F#m                                  B
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, let's go
E
Let's look at the show
F#m                            B          E
We're riding in a wonderland of snow
          G                                       A
Giddy-up, giddy-up, giddy-up, it's grand
D
Just holding your hand
Dm                                                    G
We're gliding along with a song of a wintery fairyland

Some of chord aren't exactly in the right place- it's a tough song. It would be easier to figure out if I got my guitar out. Hope this helps.
