White Christmas
tabbed by Michael Malkemus

This is the way I prefer to play it.  I think this key actually sounds better than A.  
alternate way with a capo is below.

[Piano Tab / Guitar with no capo]

Or you can use a Capo on the first fret for an easier play

Cm = X35543 or X3101X
C9 = X32033 (I like the way C9 sounds w/ the G in the verse)
