Sleigh Ride Leroy Anderson Based on Amy Grants version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4r0gR90OOI Arrangement by Ben Price (San Antonio) This is a song just about everyone loves, especially musicians. However, it has lots of changes and relies heavily on the melody, which throws rhythm guitar players off. Especially challenging is the Bridge. Listen to the Amy Grant version and try to play along. It won’t be long before you’ll be on that sleigh ride. Intro: C Am Dm7 G Verse 1:
Just hear those Csleigh bells Amjing-a-ling Dm7Ring-ting-Gtingling CtooAm Dm7 G Come on it's Clovely Amweather Dm7 G C (bass: A-Bb-B-C or Eb-D-Db-C) For a sleigh ride together with you
