  • In response to the request for Christmas songs, here is an arrangement
    of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear". The song is in 3/4 time and
    written here in the key of C. The symbols below the tab are for
  • timing purposes: one and two and three and, etc.
    ^ . ^ . ^ .
     
  • The chords all are pretty basic. As far as the F and F6 go, I find
    it easier to use the thumb to play the 6th string/1st fret rather
    than using the barre F. It makes for a much smoother transition
  • when changing from C to F and back to C again.
