JOLLY OLD SAINT NICHOLAS
Jolly old Saint Nicholas, lean your ear this way [C G7 Am Em]
Don't you tell a single soul what I'm going to say [F C G G7]
Christmas Eve is coming soon; now my dear old man [C G7 Am Em]
Whisper what you'll bring to me; tell me if you can [F C G7 C]
When the clock is striking twelve, when I'm fast asleep
Down the chimney, broad and black, with your pack you'll creep
All the stockings you will find hanging in a row
Mine will be the shortest one, you'll be sure to know
Bobby wants a pair of skates, Suzy wants a sled
Nellie wants a picture book, yellow, blue, and red
Now I think I'll leave to you what to give the rest
Choose for me, dear Santa Claus; you will know the best.
[This chord progression is similar to Pachelbel's Canon in D major. You
can play the "melody" using the available strings. Try it soft and slow
and then jump into these lyrics. It's a kick. sj]
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 HOLIDAY 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.
