--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wonderful Christmastime - Paul McCartney --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Paul McCartney Wonderful Christmastime (1979) (Paul McCartney) Now a bonus track on the reissue of the Wings CD "Back to the Egg" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHORDS The tabs in PJVillanueva's excellent tab of this song reproduce the keyboard voicings perfectly (/tabs/p/paul_mccartney/wonderful_christmas_time_tab.htm). But I found it hard to accompany myself singing this song and simultaneously playing the chords on the higher frets. If you have the same problem this might be a solution: VERSES/INTROS e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 0-2-1-2-0-x A6 2-2-2-4-0-x E/A 0-0-1-2-0-x "Ding dong" part #1 e-B-G-D-A-E A7 x-2-0-2-0-x A6 x-2-2-4-0-x A x-2-2-2-0-x D6 2-3-4-0-x-x CHORUS/SOLO The chords in the chorus and in the solo are not easy to play. But it is possible to leave all the jazzy options aside and play them straight. If you want to hear the voicings of the original, however, here are some suggestions: e-B-G-D-A-E Bm7 2-3-2-4-2-x E7/9 2-0-1-0-2-0 C#m7 4-5-4-6-4-x F#m9 4-2-2-2-4-2 D 5-3-2-0-x-x G(add9) 5-3-0-0-x-3 A 0-2-2-2-0-x CODA e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 4-5-6-7-0-x Amaj13 7-7-6-6-0-x or (easier) e-B-G-D-A-E Amaj7 0-2-1-2-0-x Amaj13 2-0-1-2-0-x --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Capo 2nd fretAmaj7The mood is right A6The spirits up E/AWe're here tonight AAnd that's enoughBm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply having A Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtimeAmaj7The party's on A6The feeling's here E/AThat only comes AThis time of yearBm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply having A Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtimeA [Bm7] [E] A The choir of children sing their song A [Bm7] [E] (synth)A7Ding, A6dong, Ading, A/C#dong A7Ding, A6dong, Ading, Duuuuuuuuuuuh D6UuuuuuuuDuuuh A Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh| Amaj7 | A6 | E/A | A | (electric guitar) Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply having A Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtimeAmaj7The word is out A6About the town E/ASo lift your glass AAnd don't look downBm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime A [Bm7] [E] A The choir of children sing their song A [Bm7] [E] They practiced all year long[A] Ding, dong, ding, dong, [E] Ding, dong, ding, dong, [A] Ding, dong, ding, dong,Ding, dE7ong, ding, dongAmaj7The party's on A6The spirits up E/AWe're here tonight AAnd that's enoughBm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply having A Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtimeSOLO | Bm7 E7/9 | C#m7 F#m9 | | D G(add9)| D G(add9) | | D G(add9)| C#m7 F#m9 | C#m7 F#m9 | | Bm7 E7/9 | C#m7 F#m9 | | D G(add9)| A |Amaj7The mood is right A6The spirits up E/AWe're here tonight AAnd that's enoughBm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply havingA Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtime Bm7 E7/9 C#m7 F#m9 Simply having A Dwonderful G(add9)ChristmasAtimeAmaj7OooooooBm/AooooooAoohBm/A Amaj7OooooooBm/AooooooAoh E Amaj7 Amaj7/13 For Christmastime
