Do You Hear What I Hear? ? Bob Dylan

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bob Dylan
Do You Hear What I Hear? (2009)
(No?l Regney/Gloria Shayne Baker)
From: "Christmas in the Heart"
In the last verse the Dylan version changes to Bb.
When I play this song alone, however, I usually don?t change the key.
I added a version in C below, which is my favourite key for singing
(and easier to play, too!).
