Song Title: Christmas Time (Is Here Again)
Artist: Greatest Band of All Time
Tabbed By: bmchrestoff (November 22, 1996 to November 24, 1996)
IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE NOTES: 1) Long ago I spiced up this otherwise simple song to give it some
use lots of cool grips in a song that is in the key of D
2) George Harrison is strumming and plucking away on an acoustic guitar
that is buried deep in the mix by Paul's piano. George's guitar only
pops out at the end of Ringo's "Weird Interlude"
3) This version can be found on the B - Side of "Free As A Bird"
4) The picking pattern follows the melody of the song
5) Remember: Double Drop D Tuning (D A D G B d)
