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.
