Here's the chords I've been using for years, but they may not paste on the forum correctly.

C Dm6 Em Am
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
C C6 C7 Fmaj E7
Jack Frost nipping on your nose,
Am Fm C B7
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir,
Emaj7 Bb G G7 C
And folks dressed up like Eskimos, everybody knows

C Dm6 Em Am
A turkey and some mistletoe,
C C6 C7 Fmaj7 E7
Help to make the season bright.
Am Fm C B7
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Em Am C G C
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.

Gm Am7
They know that Santa's on his way;
Bb Gm Am7
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh.
Ab Bb
And every mother's child is going to spy,
D7 Fm6 G
To see if reindeer really know how to fly.

C Dm6 Em Am
And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
C C6 C7 Fmaj E7
To kids from one to ninety-two,
Am Fm C B7
Although its been said many times, many ways,
F C Dm G C
Merry Christmas to you

Guys, I'm in Louisville, in session on an annual report session for a national Pizza chain. Will be here for two more days.

This is a really stacked time, with 27 jobs and 3 sessions before the end of the month.

I'll get to this as soon as I can.


And, thanks for asking!


Russ

That'd be great, Russ. We know you're one busy guy, so whenever you get the time and inclination. I know we'd all look forward to it.

Gary, thanks for your input, too. That's pretty much the way I've dabbled with it over the years, but it'd sure be nice to get some of the more 'luxurious' voicings in there.

Here's about what I do:

Please Come Home For Christmas

Merry Xmas. Happy holidays to all

Don,

Where in heaven's name did you ever find that rendition of "O, Holy Night"? That song has always been one of my Christmas favourites. I'm concerned I may now be "scarred for life" after witnessing the performance you posted. My daughter and I could hardly stop laughing. Not knowing any better, she asked me if it was you.
Don't worry! I quickly straightened her out on that by playing her one of your recent song postings.
I'm sure you got everybody's attention with that mp3.
If that guy "singing" was serious, we should all pray for him.

God Bless,
Don

We have been posting that version here on SZ for many years...
it's a classic.

Yes, I saved it several years ago. Have to drag it out each December to officially kick off Christmas season. It never fails to leave me in tears!
Thank you for clearing my name with your wife!

What style(s) you all using for Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. ?

I find Love Song works pretty well. I use various ones just to check them out. There are quite a few that will work just fine depending on what you feel like doing!
