Angels Carol by John Rutter. A great Christmas-carol, performed by choirs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFap2kKQQrk If you want to play with the Rutter/Cambridge Singers version on YouTube: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYYT52KIuzs) but using these chords, you need to Capo on the 5th fret. This tab is amazingly good improved thanks to jeffsam. [Verse 1]
