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 Dm D* 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-----4----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--| [Verse] G Bm [Em] D [Dsus4 D] Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?
