The Holiday Song

intro:  c-d-b-c with high e drone

that little nifty melody line that begins each verse is : c b a g eg eg a /
                                                          c b a g eg e b c...

the chords for the verse go:
A              C         F     C       A      C           F      C
well sit right down my wicked son and let me tell you a story
A        C        F         C        A    F    C       F
about a boy who fell from glory and how he was a wicked son

chorus:
G              F        A  C    F  C

this ain't no holiday       no, no
G             F
but it always turns out this way

D    f# g a g f#

here i am with my hands

i guess that pretty much sums it up; i would not want to desecrate any
one's interpretation of the other verse(s) or the solo by documenting
them here. oh yes, the chords at the end go A C F A instead of ACFC.

sincerely,
len hunt

hey yinz,
i made a mistake, i think, in my notation of the holiday song.  in fact,
it was in that nifty little melody that begins each verse.  it SHOULD
have read:
thanks for not all jumping down my throat immediately for my misguided
interpretation.

have a good day,
len
