Christmas Tab

by Barenaked Ladies


This is my first tab ever. I noticed that there were tabs available for the Barenaked
Christmas medley, but they all seemed to be for some sort of messy sounding live version.
figured these out from the album version. You know, the one with Sarah McLachlan. Like I 
this is the first time I've ever done this, so you'll have to listen to the song
use a bit of your own judgement to make up for any imperfections on my part. Enjoy.

Intro:        

                     
God rest ye merry gentlemen,
                  
Let nothing you dismay
                    
Remember Christ our savior
                  
Was born upon this day
                   
To save us all from Satan's power
                   
When we were gone astray
                        
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
            
Comfort and joy,
                            

Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

                      
From God our heavenly father
                  
This blessed angel came
                  
And unto certain shepards
                      
Brought tidings of the same
                 
How that in Bethlehem was born
                
The son of God by name
                       
O tidings of comfort and joy,
            
Comfort and joy
                           
O tidings of comfort and joy

                        
O, Star of wonder, star of night,
                      
Star with royal beauty bright
               
Westward leading, still proceeding,
                          
  
Guide us to thy perfect light.

                         
Born a king on Bethlehem's plain,
                          
Gold I bring to crown him again
             
King forever, ceasing never,
                 
Over us all to rain.

                        
O, Star of wonder, star of night,
                
Star with royal beauty bright
               
Westward leading, still proceeding,
                          
  
Guide us to thy perfect light.

                      
Glorious now, behold Him arise.
                     
King and God and sacrifice
           
Hallelujah, Hallelujah!
                        

Worship him God most high

                        
O, Star of wonder, star of night,
                
Star with royal beauty bright
               
Westward leading, still proceeding,
                          
  
Guide us to thy perfect light.

                     
God rest ye merry gentlemen,
                
let nothing you dismay (Repeat until blue in face.)

There, alright, that wasn't so hard.
