I've seen a few requests lately for Christmas tunes.  I posted a
similar request last year and thought I would pass on the compilation
of posted and/or emailed responses.  Thanks again to the original
posters.

Note that each tune is posted by different people, in different
formats, and may contain errors but you should be able to sort it out.

ALSO ... I am not "net wize" so apologies in advance if posting this
as one long article is a pain relative to posting 8 separate articles.

G'day and Merry Christmas,
Marg

THE FIRST NOEL

     D      A   G  D      G   D
The first Noel the angels did say
G       D       G    D   G    A  D      G    A   D
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
A7   D           A   G   D        G     D
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
G    D      G      D  G   A   D   A7   D
On a cold winter's night that was so deep


A7 Bm    A   D  G    D
Noel   Noel  Noel  Noel
Bm   F#m  G   D G  A7   D G A7 D
Born is   the king of   Is ra el

The looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth in gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

refrain

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

refrain

This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlelem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay

refrain

Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently upon their knee
And offered there in his presence
Their gold, and myrrh and frankincense

refrain

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord
That hath made heav'n and earth of naught
And with his blood mankind hath bought


TAB
The First Noel, traditional English carol
arranged by John E. Norlin for two guitars
(also note that the second part could be played on a bass, if desired)

ONCE IN ROYAL DAVID'S CITY
Henry John Gauntlett

Intro:
F C7 F  Bb C F  F C7 F

F    C7 F     C          F      Dm  F     Bb C    F
Once in royal David's city, stood a lowly cattle  shed,
     C7 F      G7       C7 F   Dm F      Bb  C    F
where a mother laid her baby in a manger for His  bed.
Bb   F        Csus4 C   F     Bb    F          Bb  C  F
Mary was that mo - ther mild, Jesus Christ her little child.


F  C7   F       C             F      Dm   F      Bb C    F
He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all,
     C7 F       G7    C7  F    Dm     F      Bb  C  F
And His shelter was a stable, and His cradle was a stall;
Bb   F        Csus4 C      F       Bb      F         Bb  C  F
With the poor and meek and lowly, lived on earth our savior holy.


F    C7     F       C             F     Dm F     Bb C      F
And through all His wondrous childhood, he would honor and obey,
     C7  F      G7 C7 F          Dm       F   Bb  C      F
Love and watch the lowly mother, in whose gentle arms He lay.
Bb   F        Csus4 C         F   Bb    F          Bb  C  F
Christian children all should be, mild, obedient, good as He.


F    C7 F        C             F     Dm  F      Bb  C         F
And our eyes at last shall see Him, through his own redeeming love.
     C7  F     G7       C7    F    Dm     F       Bb   C  F
For that child so dear and gentle, is our Lord in heaven above;
Bb   F        Csus4 C     F   Bb     F           Bb  C  F
And He leads His children on, to the place where he is gone.


Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by,

We shall see Him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high;

When like stars His children crowned, all in while shall wait around.

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR

    C     F     C
It came upon a midnight clear
      F        D7      G7
That glorious song of old
     C       F      C
>From angels bending near the earth
     F          G7       C
To touch their harps of gold
       E7                   AM
"Peace on the earth,  good will to men
       G       D7          G
>From heaven's all gracious King;"
     C        F      C
The world in solemn stillness lay,
    F        G7     C
To hear the angels sing

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing;
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

O ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now! for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

                    F                         C7                   F

GRAMMA GOT RUN OVER BY A REINDEER

This arrangement combines the melody and some backup.  If you sing along you
can follow the chords using this:
Basic Accompaniment Pattern: follow chord progression.

The song is in 4/4 time.  Almost every note is an 1/8 note. When you see 0^2 it
means play the string open then quickly hammer on at the 2nd fret.  It is
called a grace note.  The hammer should fall on the beat.
