This classic song by the 70s UK Glam Rock stars: Slade was originally played on electric guitar which would have meant a lot of barre chords. However, I’ve done this as an acoustic guitar-friendly version for those who prefer to cut down on their barred chords. If you are not an advanced player, you can stick to the chords excluding those in brackets (and in fact if you don’t like a barred Bm, you can play just Em in its place throughout quite comfortably – it sounds close enough in this context). Better players can bring in the bracketed chords. Note: D alt is an altered version of D, there are 2 choices shown – one with quite a stretch on the little finger, the other with a move up the neck – take your choice!) Have fun... Merry Christmas (if it's that time of year) and if you have any comments feel free to email as below. Cheers, David Chord shapes: Am Bb Bm C D7 D Dsus4 Dmin Dalt Em G 0-----1-----2-----0-----2-----2-----3-----1-----2 or 5----0-----3--| 1-----3-----3-----1-----1-----3-----3-----3-----3----7----0-----0--| 2-----3-----4-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2----7----0-----0--| 2-----3-----4-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----5----7----2-----0--| 0-----x-----2-----3-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x----x----2-----2--| x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----3-----x-----x----x----0-----3--| G (Em)Bm D (Dsus4 D) Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
