Now a bonus track on disc 2 of the reissue of "McCartney II" Here's my GuitarPro file of the song which includes the solo and the "Ding dong" harmonies: http://plus.ultimate-guitar.com/p/paul_mccartney/wonderful_christmas_time_tab_online.html#131119 play: A The tabs in PJVillanueva's excellent tab of this song reproduce the keyboard voicings perfectly: http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/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: [Verse] Amaj7 x-0-6-6-5-x or x-0-2-1-2-0 A6 x-0-4-2-2-x E/A x-0-2-1-0-0 "Ding dong" part #1 A7 x-0-2-0-2-x A6 x-0-4-2-2-x A x-0-2-2-2-x D6 x-x-0-4-3-2 [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: Bm7 x-2-4-2-3-2 E9 0-2-0-1-0-2 C#m7 x-4-6-4-5-4 D x-x-0-2-3-5 G9 3-5-3-4-3-5 or 3-x-0-2-0-1 A x-0-2-2-2-0 [Coda] Amaj7 x-0-6-6-5-x Bm/A x-0-4-4-3-x A x-0-2-2-2-x Amaj7* x-0-7-6-5-4 or (easier) x-0-2-1-2-0 Amaj13 x-0-6-6-7-7 or (easier) x-0-2-1-0-2 ------------ [Intro] 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] (see above) | | / | | / | | | | | | | | [Verse] The mood is right The spirits up We're here tonight And that's enough [Chorus] Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime [Verse] The party's on The feeling's here That only comes This time of year [Chorus] Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime [Middle 8] The choir of children sing their song (synth) Ding, dong, ding, dong Ding, dong, ding, uuuuuuuuuuuh Uuuuuuuuuuuh Duh duh duh duh duh duh duh [Interlude] (electric guitar) [Chorus] Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime [Verse] The word is out About the town So lift your glass Oh, and don't look down [Chorus] Simply having A wonderful Christmastime [Middle 8] The choir of children sing their song They practiced all year long Ding, dong, ding, dong, Ding, dong, ding, dong, Ding, dong, ding, dong, Ding, dong, ding, dong [Verse] The party's on The spirits up We're here tonight And that's enough [Chorus] Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime [Solo] | | 2/4 | | | | | | | [Verse] The mood is right The spirits up We're here tonight And that's enough (ooh, ooh, ooh) [Chorus] Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime Simply ha- ving A wonderful Christmastime [Coda] Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh For Christmastime
