--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wonderful Christmastime (Live) - Paul McCartney & Wings --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paul McCartney Live in Glasgow, December 17, 1979 Tabbed by: maguri Listen to this tab (short demo recording with soprano and baritone ukulele): https://soundcloud.com/maguri/wonderful-christmastime-ukulele-demo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
C-Tuning lends itself beautifully to play the keyboard voicings on the
recording. Here's a suggestion:

  Cmaj7            C6               Gadd11           C
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

A|--------2-------|--------3-------|--------5-------|--------7-------|
E|--------0-------|--------5-------|--------7-------|--------8-------|
C|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|0-------0-------|
g(0)------0-------(0)------0-------(0)------0-------(0)------0-------|

G-Tuning doesn't have the C on an open string. Maybe this could be an 
option: 

  Cmaj7            C6               Gadd11           C
  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +  1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

E|--------0-------|--------0-------|--------3-------|--------0-------|
B|--------0-------|--------1-------|--------3-------|--------1-------|
G|0-------0-------|0-------2-------|0-------5-------|0-------0-------|
d|2-------2-------|2-------2-------|2-------0-------|2-------2-------|
