Words & Music by Johnny Marks 
sung by John Denver

on Rocky Mountain Christmas (1975)


            C          Am
  You know Dasher and Dancer
        F            G
  And Prancer and Vixen,
   C         Am
  Comet and Cupid
       F           G7
  And Donner and Blitzen.
       Am
  But do you recall
          D7                G7
The most famous reindeer of all?

 C
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
                  G7
Had a very shiny nose
(like a light bulb)

And if you ever saw it
(saw it)
                        C
You would even say it glows
(like a flash light)

All of the other reindeer
(reindeer)
                            G7
Used to laugh and call him names
(like Pinochio)

They never let poor Rudolph
(Rudolph)
                      C
Join in any reindeer games
(like Monopoly)
  F               C
Then one foggy Christmas Eve
 G7            C
Santa came to say
(Ho Ho Ho)
 G7                B
Rudolph with your nose so bright
 D7                  G7
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
  C
Then all the reindeer loved him
(loved him)
                            G7
And they shouted out with glee
(yippee)

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer
(reindeer)
                        C
You'll go down in history!"
(like Columbus)

C   G7   C   G7   C   F   C   G7   C   
G7  B   D7   G7   C   G7   C
