I posted a similar request last year and thought I would pass on the compilation of posted and/or emailed responses. Thanks again to the original posters. Note that each tune is posted by different people, in different formats, and may contain errors but you should be able to sort it out. ALSO ... I am not "net wize" so apologies in advance if posting this as one long article is a pain relative to posting 8 separate articles.

Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing; And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing.

The song is in 4/4 time. Almost every note is an 1/8 note. When you see 0^2 it means play the string open then quickly hammer on at the 2nd fret. It is called a grace note.

Additional Lyrics Verse2 Now we're all so proud of grandpa He's been taking this so well See him in there watching footbal drinking beer and playing cards with Cousin Mel It's not Christmas without Grandma All the family's dressed in black and we just can't help but wonder Should we open up her gifts or send them back. verse 3. Now the goose is on the table and the pudding made of fig and the blue and silver candles that would just have matched the hair on grandma's wig I've warned all my friends and neighbors better watch out for yourselves they should never give a license to a man who drives a sleigh and plays with elves. 8) ------------------ cut here -------------------------------------------- HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER) John Lennon A-sequence 002220 002200 002230 002220 So this is Christmas Bm-sequence 224432 224422 224452 224432 And what have you done' E-sequence 022200 022100 024100 022100 Another year older A-sequence 002230 002220 002200 002220 And a new one just begun....
