[Song]
{t:Santa Rides Tonight}


[E] Santa is flying tonight, flying around the world
[A] Santa is flying tonight, oh  [E]he's flying around the world
He'll be [B7} putting presents underneath  the tree
for [E]  every  good   [A]boy   and [E] girl

[E] On Donner and Dasher , on Comet and Cupid, pull, pull,  that sleigh
Now [A] Vixen and Blitzen , Prancer and Dancer  [E]   might not  know the way
so [B7]follow Rudolph  and his shiny nose , and keep
[E] Santa  laughing [A]all the [E]way

[E] Santa is flying tonight,  I hope that you've been nice
[A] Santa is flying tonight, oh yeah [E]hope that you've been nice
You[B7] better  not be on the naughty list because
ya [E]know  he's [A] checking it [E] twice

[E] On Donner and Dasher , on Comet and Cupid, pull, pull,  that sleigh
Now [A] Vixen and Blitzen , Prancer and Dancer  [E]   might not  know the way
so [B7]follow Rudolph and his shiny nose , and keep
[E] Santa  laughing [A]all the [E]way

[E] Santa is flying tonight, he's spreading Christmas cheer
[A] Santa is flying tonight, yeah [E]  ya know he'll soon be here
You'll [B7]hear him say as he pulls outta sight
Merry  [E] Christmas to all, and to [A]all a good [E] night
.


[E] On Donner and Dasher , on Comet and Cupid, pull, pull,  that sleigh
Now [A] Vixen and Blitzen , Prancer and Dancer  [E]   might not  know the way
so [B7]follow Rudolph  and his shiny nose , and keep
[E] Santa  laughing [A]all the [E]way
.

oh, You'll [B7]hear him say as he pulls outta sight
Merry  [E] Christmas to all, and to [A]all a good [E] night

{c:slow}

You'll [B7]hear him say as he pulls outta sight
Merry  [E] Christmas to all, and to [B7]all a good [E]night
