Written by: Noël Regney/Gloria Shayne Baker
From: "Christmas in the Heart" (2009)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
In the last verse the Dylan version changes to Bb.
When I play this song alone, however, I usually don’t change the key.
I added a version in C below, which is my favourite key for singing
(and easier to play, too!).
