--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmastime (1979) (Paul McCartney) Now a bonus track on the reissue of the Wings CD "Back to the Egg" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS The tabs in PJVillanueva's excellent tab of this song reproduce the keyboard voicings perfectly (/tabs/p/paul_mccartney/wonderful_christmas_time_tab.htm). But I found it hard to accompany myself singing this song and simultaneously playing the chords on the higher frets. If you have the same problem this might be a solution: VERSES/INTROS e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 0-2-1-2-0-x A6 2-2-2-4-0-x E/A 0-0-1-2-0-x "Ding dong" part #1 e-B-G-D-A-E A7 x-2-0-2-0-x A6 x-2-2-4-0-x A x-2-2-2-0-x D6 2-3-4-0-x-x CHORUS/SOLO The chords in the chorus and in the solo are not easy to play. But it is possible to leave all the jazzy options aside and play them straight. If you want to hear the voicings of the original, however, here are some suggestions: e-B-G-D-A-E Bm7 2-3-2-4-2-x E7/9 2-0-1-0-2-0 C#m7 4-5-4-6-4-x F#m9 4-2-2-2-4-2 D 5-3-2-0-x-x G(add9) 5-3-0-0-x-3 A 0-2-2-2-0-x CODA e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 4-5-6-7-0-x Amaj13 7-7-6-6-0-x or (easier) e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 0-2-1-2-0-x Amaj13 2-0-1-2-0-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 2nd fret
