Twelve Days of Christmas - John Denver and the Muppets
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
A very nice arrangement from the TV special "A Christmas Together" with
John Denver and the Muppets (first aired in 1979).
The Muppets' version is in F, which is a little difficult to play (at
least for me ...), so I transposed it to G for this tab.
C and D are other keys that are easy to play; I included voicings for
the split chords in both keys, too.
(To play along transpose this tab to D and put on a capo 3rd fret or
to C and use a capo 5th fret).
"Calling" birds or "colly" birds? https://t1p.de/calling-colly-debate
