----------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT CHILD IS THIS - Misc Christmas ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: ThisIsNotDan Tuning: Standard My first submission! Basically a series of arpeggios based on the chords, with a bit of discretion used as to which 5 notes in a 6-note chord are played. I think the song sounds a lot better this way than with strumming the chords or picking the individual notes. Substitute your own musical prowess if you feel there are better ways to pick the notes; my unschooled mind just went with what sounded good to my unschooled ear. That said, I think this is best read in 6/8 time, with each each hyphen representing a 16th note. But I could be totally wrong on that. CAPO 5 (or wherever your vocal range happens to fall; the first 2 notes you play on the G and B strings are the first two notes of the melody) Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) G (320003@1) e|--------0-----------0-----------3-----------3---| B|------1-----------1-----------------------------| G|----2-----------2-------------0-----------0-----| D|--2-----------2-------------0-----------0-------| A|0-----------0-------------2-----------2---------| E|------------------------3-----------3-----------| (What) Child is This who Laid to Rest on Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Ee|--------0-----------0-----------0-----------0---| (022100@1)B|------1-----------1-----------0-----------0-----| G|----2-----------2-----------1-----------1-------| D|--2-----------2-----------2-----------2---------| A|0-----------0-----------2-----------------------| E|------------------------------------0-----------| Mary's Lap is Slee - Ping, Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) G (320003@1) G (320003@1) e|--------0-----------0-----------3-----------3---| B|------1-----------1-----------------------------| G|----2-----------2-------------0-----------0-----| D|--2-----------2-------------0-----------0-------| A|0-----------0-------------2-----------2---------| E|------------------------3-----------3-----------| (Whom) Angels Greet with Anthems Sweet while Am (x02210@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) Am (x02210@1) e|--------0-----------0-----------0-----------0---| B|------1-----------0-----------1-----------1-----| G|----2-----------1-----------2-----------2-------| D|--2-----------2-----------2-----------2---------| A|0-----------------------0-----------0-----------| E|------------0-----------------------------------| Shepherds Watch are Kee - Ping?
