White Christmas

#

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!
