White Christmas

Having seen a few requests recently for Christmassy tablature, I sat

down a couple of nights ago to see if I could write anything suitable.

So here is my very own arrangement of WHITE CHRISTMAS.

It's supposed to be played with a rather laid back, jazzy feel (hence all

the triplets!) and it's not especially difficult to play - I'm by no

means a fabulous guitarist!

Here goes then. I think it's okay, but I'm just printing it off to take

home and play through to make sure. Any amendments will be posted

tomorrow!
