This is an amazing song, especially for Christmas – so beautifully
written! There are some good chord sheets for this song already up
on the site, but I’ve tabbed out the chords and melody here. I tried
to format the chords after piano (where the notes fall right in a row
down the fretboard, ie: x532xx is Dm), but after you get the gist, there
are plenty of other chord shapes you could add. I had included some
lyrics as reference points for the melody, but CGR doesn’t allow them,
so you will just have to depend on your ears. Don’t hold me to the chord
names – I learned my music theory on the streets! Enjoy!

There you have it. It sounds just about perfect when I play with
the recording, but please post any corrections as necessary. Thanks!
