This is a beautiful song that comes from a fun play called "The Christmas Post".
This is arranged for 3/4 time with the chord changes creating a Lullaby feel.
I did the arrangement with that idea. In can be simplified by Using Just the F for all the F changes,
The Dm for the Dm changes, and so on. If you do it with these changes I think the song will sound great
and build a lot of beginner players.
Note: the simplest Gm11 chord is one finger. Gm11: 3-3-3-3-3-3 (those being the frets).
