This song has been tabbed out many times, but only the basic notes have been included. 
arrangement adds a lot of extra notes also which makes it sound fuller and it’s not much 
to play.  Email me for any errors, and enjoy this Christmas Season.

This is in 4/4.

Notes:
#1 Strum these chords slow.
#2 Since the rhythm for this bar is a little tricky; I’ve labeled them eighth note (e) 
quarter note (q).
#3 Strum these fast and immediately play the arpeggios that follow.


| /  slide up
| \  slide down
| h  hammer-on
| p  pull-off
| ~  vibrato
| +  harmonic
| x  Mute note
  e  Eighth Note
