Chorus
(C)              (F)                      C
Run Run Rudolph, Santa's gotta make it to town
F                                                    C
Santa's in a hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
      G                                         C
Then away went Rudolph, reelin' like a merry-go-round


Verse 1
     C                       F                         C
Said Santa to a girl child, "What'd please you most to get?"
   F                                                 C
"A little baby doll that could cry, drink, sleep and wet"
      G                                         C
Then away went Rudolph, whizzin' like a Phantom jet*

      F                                                     C
"Well all I want for Christmas is a rock'n'roll electric guitar"
      G                                         C
Then away went Rudoph, whizzin' like a shooting star
