Its Chritmas
View chords used in this chart
This should nicely print to two or less pages. I had to write up these chord charts for my church's youth
band, so I thought I might as well share it here. That's where most of my tabs come from. There are a few
parts in the Chorus when there's an organ (keys?) making some movement. On the "It's Christmas, oh let me
hear" part, it actually moves to a D right before the G, like a walking bass note. But for simplicity I
left it out. Enjoy! Email me at micahbrill@hotmail.com if you have any questions or tab requests.
