          D          C#m7        Bm7        A
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
D         C#m7       Bm7         A
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
F#m           B
But do you recall
         B7                 E7
The most famous reindeer of all

Chorus:
A
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
                  E
Had a very shiny nose
E
And if you ever saw it
                        A
You would even say it glows
A
All of the other reindeer
                            E
Used to laugh and call him names
E
They never let poor Rudolph
                      A
Play in any reindeer games

D                 A
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
E7             A
Santa came to say
D                  A
Rudolph with your nose so bright
B7                  E7
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight

A
Then how the reindeer loved him
                          E
As they shouted out with glee
E
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
                   A
You'll go down in history
Rock it, Rudolph

But then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa came to say
"Rudolph with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him
As they shouted out with glee, (hey, Rudolph)
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history."
