Christmas music is for lovers

Unread post by captainburrito » Wed Nov 19, 2003 9:24 pm

Okay, I have been all around this crazy internet, looking for some good christmas songs to learn for the upcoming holidays. All of the ones that i can find are all old timey and what not. Does anyone know where i could find some good, modern, and strumtastic christmas songs and tabs (i.e. "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" a la BNL)?

my favorite x-mas song of all time-

Happy Christmas (War Is Over) - John & Yoko.


Here's the chords:

http://www.jlgca.com

the john lennon guitar chord archive (it also has a george harrison guitar chord archive and a paul mccartney one.) they are not all accurate but close. Also the chords to x-mas, they are basicly one chord with a string changing about 3 times, kind of like how space between keeps the main chord and moves the one string or so.


Also, that site has quotes from jon & yoko on almost each song talking about it's meaning or such (so that makes it really kewl).

have you ever heard Jack Johnson's version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? It's pretty jumpy, and he even thorws in a verse of his own, in his classic surf tradition.... I love it.

go here to find it:

or

http://www.stanford.edu/~reedg/tabs/rudolph1.html
to get right there.

Great sit for jack tabs...
