LYNN ANDERSON - Ding-a-Ling the Christmas Bell (1970) chords
Start Jamming...
[Bb]
Gather round and I will [F] tell the story of a Christmas [Bb] bell
Who used to shine and [Eb] shine and ring
And [F] why they called him [Bb] Ding-a-ling
One of the famous jingle [F] bells is what he was
But then he [Bb] fell and broke his pretty [Eb] harmony
[F] And he began to [Bb] ring off key
[Eb] Now they call him Ding-a-ling
[Bb] Because he has a funny ring
[Eb] And doesn't hit his note too well
[F] Ding-a-ling [Bb] the Christmas bell
The other bells met secretly
And he [F] heard one say in a real low [Bb] key
He's sure to ruin our [Eb] Christmas song
[F] And we don't want him [Bb] hanging around
He overheard their secret [F] vote
And walked away with a lump in his [Bb] note
The saddest bell you've [Eb] ever seen
The [F] Christmas bell called [Bb] Ding-a-ling
[Eb] They all call him Ding-a-ling
[Bb] Because he has a funny ring
[Eb] And doesn't hit his note too well
[F] Ding-a-ling [Bb] the Christmas bell
The snow was spawning in the square
[F] When the children found him [Bb] there
And placed him on the [Eb] Christmas tree
For [F]
everyone in [Bb] town to see
[B]
As Christmas Eve came to the [Gb] town
A blinding snow was coming [B] down
And Ding-a-ling heard [E] someone say
[Gb] Old Santa should [B] lose his way
The thought occurred to Ding-a-ling
[Gb] To ring as loud as he could [B] ring
And when old Santa [E] heard the sound
[Gb] It guided him into [B] the town
[E] Now the children shout and [B] sing
And everyone loves Ding-a-ling
[E] So everything has turned out well
[Gb] For Ding-a-ling the [B] Christmas bell
