This is a very simplified version of a Christmas classic.  It's not so much a 
strumming version.  I recommend trying to just randomly pick along the chords 
listed below until you find the groove that works for you.

Good luck and enjoy!



In The Bleak Midwinter
CAPO 3rd fret (or whichever fits your voice)

*After the C chord after "water like a stone" I tab a transition chord of which I 
am  not sure of the name but it makes for a smooth yet pronounced change into the 
Dm and is as follows: X3231X
