A
Over the river and through the woods
D E7 A
To Grandmother's house we go.
E7 A
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
B7 E E7
Through white and drifted snow.
A
Over the river and through the woods,
D E7 A
Oh, how the wind does blow.
D E7 A
It stings the toes and bites the nose
E E7 A
As over the ground we go.
A
Over the river and through the woods
D E7 A
To have a full day of play.
E7 A
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
B7 E E7
For it is Christmas Day.
A
Over the river and through the woods,
D E7 A
Trot fast my dapple gray;
D E7 A
Spring o'er the ground just like a hound,
E E7 A
For this is Christmas Day.
A
Over the river and through the woods
D E7 A
And straight through the barnyard gate.
E7 A
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow;
B7 E E7
It’s so hard to wait.
A
Over the river and through the woods,
D E7 A
Now Grandma's cap I spy.
D E7 A
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done;
E E7 A
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.
