White Christmas chords by Holiday

Newsgroups: alt.guitar.tab

   Having seen a few requests recently for Christmassy tablature, I sat
   down a couple of nights ago to see if I could write anything suitable.
   So here is my very own arrangement of WHITE CHRISTMAS.

   It's supposed to be played with a rather laid back, jazzy feel (hence
   all
   the triplets!) and it's not especially difficult to play - I'm by no
   means a fabulous guitarist!

   Here goes then. I think it's okay, but I'm just printing it off to
   take
   home and play through to make sure. Any amendments will be posted
   tomorrow!
