Ohhhh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy
G D Em B Em B7
Ohhhh tidings of comfort and joy,
From God our heavenly Father, This blessed angel came
And unto certain Shepard&#8217;s, Brought tidings of the same
How that is Bethlehem was born, The Son of God by name
Ohhhh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy
Ohhhh tidings of comfort and joy&#8230;(Em B Em B7 D..)

We three kings of orient are, Bearing gifts we traves a fare
D G D Em D Em B Em B7
Field and fountain Moor and mountain, following yonder star
Born a king of Bethlehem plain, Gold I bring to crown him again
King forever ceasing never, Over us all to reign
Frankincense to offer have I, Incense owns a deed tonight
Prayer and praising, all men raising, Worship Him God most High

Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying, Sealed in a stone cold tomb

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BARENAKED LADIES tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
