Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Traditional

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – Traditional

Rudolph first appeared in a children’s colouring book in 1939 which was published by Montgomery Ward, a Chicago-based department store, which handed out the free books to children each Christmas. The song then followed in 1949 🙂

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

G     A   G-A   G-^C    B

All of the other reindeer
