------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christmas Medley - Theocracy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: CowManJones Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) ********************************************************************************** ** So for this chord submission, I got the chords for each of these songs from ** ** other chord submissions here on UG and I listened to find the appropriate ** ** key for this medley and transposed them as needed. These chords are intended ** ** for acoustic guitar and only offer an approximation of the original sound, ** ** as such, I didn't specify instructions for the parts that really rely on the ** ** power metal sound. ** ********************************************************************************** [Angels We Have Heard on High] E B7 E Angels we have heard on high E B7 E Sweetly singing o'er the plains E B7 E And the mountains in reply E B7 E Echoing their joyous strains. REF: E C#7 F#m B7 E A B Glo---------------------ria E B E A E B in excelsis De--o, E C#7 F#m B7 E A B Glo---------------------ria E B E A E B7 Em in excelsis De---o. [Carol of the Bells - Instrumental] Note: This section is simplified a bit. Also, the bass notes are impossible to play with the lead the way I have it. Sorry about that! Maybe someone smarter than me can figure that out. e---------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------------| G--12--11-12-------12--11-12-------12--11-12-------12--11-12----| x4 D------------14--------------14--------------14--------------14-| A---------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------------------------------------| e---------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------------| G--12--11-12-------12--11-12-------12--11-12-------12--11-12----| x4 D------------14--------------14--------------14--------------14-| A--3---------------1--------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------4---------------3------------| e---------------------------------------------------------------| B--12--10-12-------12--10-12-------12--10-12-------12--10-12----| G------------12--------------12--------------12--------------12-| x8 D---------------------------------------------------------------| A--3---------------1--------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------4---------------3------------| e--12--12-12-10-8------------------------------------------| B------------------12--12-12-10-8-10--10-10-12-10-8--------| G----------------------------------------------------9--9--| x1 D----------------------------------------------------------| A--3---------------1---------------------------------------| E----------------------------------4--------------3--------| e------------------------------------------------------------| B------------------10-12-10----------------------10-12-10----| G-------8-9-11-12----------12---------8-9-11-12----------12--| x1 D--9-11--------------------------9-11------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------| E--3---------------3-------------3---------------3-----------| e---------------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------------| B--12--10-12-------12--10-12-------12--10-12-------12--10-12----| x8 G------------12--------------12--------------12--------------12-| A--3---------------1--------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------4---------------3------------| e--12--12-12-10-8------------------------------------------| B------------------12--12-12-10-8-10--10-10-12-10-8--------| G----------------------------------------------------9--9--| x1 D----------------------------------------------------------| A--3---------------1---------------------------------------| E----------------------------------4--------------3--------| e-------------------------------------------------------------| B------------------10-12-10----------------------10-12-10-----| G----------9-11-12----------12-----------9-11-12----------12--| x1 D--9-11-12-----------------------9-11-12----------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------| E--3---------------3-------------3---------------3------------| e--12~~~~~~~~~~~--0---| B-----------------0---| G-----------------0---| D-----------------2---| A--3--------------2---| E-----------------0---| [We Three Kings] Em Bm Em Bm Em We three kings of Orient are; bearing gifts we traverse a-far G D/F# Em C Am B Em field and fountain, moor and mountain, following yonder star.
