I was disappointed to not find a full tab of this song, so here it is. The strumming of the rhythm guitar is, at times, open to interpretation, especially during the Chorus. Also, the original song fades out, but for a live version, I recommend ending on the first chord of the Chorus. Corrected after watching their live performance at 2020 Kingfisher Bluez Christmas Party. lead guitar (Chris Vanderkooy) [Intro] Chris plays this section starting on the 9th of the high e, although I prefer this fingering. Each phrase starts on the "and" of beat 1. e|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| B|-14-12----------------|-------14-|-14-12----------------|------12-| G|-------14-13-11-------|-------13-|-------14-13-11-------|------11-| D|----------------14-13-|11-----11-|----------------14-13-|9-----9--| A|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| E|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| e|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| B|-14-12----------------|-------16-|-14-12----------------|------14-| G|-------14-13-11-------|-------13-|-------14-13-11-------|------11-| D|----------------14-13-|11-----11-|----------------14-13-|9-----9--| A|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| E|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| [Verses 1 + 2] e|8 measures|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| B|of rest |-14-12----------------|-------14-|-14-12----------------|------12-| G|----------|-------14-13-11-------|-------13-|-------14-13-11-------|------11-| D|----------|----------------14-13-|11-----11-|----------------14-13-|9-----9--| A|----------|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| E|----------|----------------------|----------|----------------------|---------| e|8 measures| B|of rest | G|----------| D|----------| A|----------| E|----------| [Chorus] "Did I make you cry...on Christmas day?"
