  • First, standard open chord fingerings for D, A, and E are all used, but the main trick to this song is a variation of an open A chord followed by a hammer-on
    which forms the next chord, a D with an A bass (D/A).

  • Next, fingerpicking. If you're new to this, you might want to
    practice by playing various patterns while going through a few
    chord changes. If you haven't yet learned to fingerpick, it's
  • well worth the effort. A nice thing about fingerpicking is that
    you can fret strings that aren't really part of a chord if you
    find that convenient. Just avoid sounding those strings when
  • you're fingerpicking. A good example is the alternate A and D/A
    fingering above. I fret the high-E at the third fret (as part of
    the index finger barre), but don't pick that string.
  •  
    The tab will pretty much show you the notes, but there are a
    number of places where you'll need to rely on your ears for
  • timing. There are several parts, such as the hammer-on chord
    transition, that have kind of a roll feel to them. I think
    all the notes are there, but you'll need your ears for the
  • phrasing. In this song, I pick all of the notes on the low-E, A,
    and D strings with my thumb. My index finger picks the notes on
    the G string, my middle finger picks B string notes and my ring
  • finger gets the notes on the high-E. That's just a suggestion,
    and you may find it easier to do it differently.
     
  • This song is really not all that hard once you learn it. It's
    one of the few I can usually play all the way through without
    messing up. Standard tuning, capo on the third fret to match the
  • album (second fret for the Larry King performance), and the tab
    is relative to the capo. I put the chords at the top of the tab
    to help with the left hand fingering. Also, I marked a note (in
  • a couple of places) with an asterisk. While learning the song,
    it might help you to think of that note as starting a 5-note
    phrase. It definitely helped me when I was first trying to
  • figure out the song.
     
    That's about it. If some parts don't sound right to your ears,
  • you may want to leave out or add a note or two. Also, the A to
    D/A hammer-on part might make your left hand cramp at first. It
    takes some time, but if you stick with it, it'll eventually stop.

    Lyrics:
  •  
    I wish you love and happiness
    I guess I wish you all the best
  • I wish you don't do like I do
    And ever fall in love with someone like you
    Cause if you fell just like I did
  • You'd probably walk around the block like a little kid
    But kids don't know they can only guess
    How hard it is to wish you happiness
  •  
    I guess that love is like a Christmas card
    You decorate a tree you throw it in the yard
  • It decays and dies and the snowmen melt
    Well I once knew love I knew how love felt
    Yeah I knew love love knew me
  • When I walked love walked with me
    And I got no hate and I got no pride
    Well I got some much love that I cannot hide
  •  
    Say you drive a Chevy say you drive a Ford
    You say you drive around the town till you just get bored
  • Then you change your mind for something else to do
    And your heart gets bored with your mind and it changes you
    Well it's a doggone shame and it's an awful mess
  • I wish you love I wish you happiness
    I wish you love I wish you happiness
    I guess I wish you all the best
  • PLAY TOO ..
