Gabe Bondoc – Sleigh Ride chords

Tabbed By: Mike

This is a tab for Gabe Bondoc's version of the classic Harry Connick Jr. arrangement.
Video right this way --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3vp1k8wvw0

This is a great little jazzy tune that can be played with one guitar. I've tabbed out 
how he plays each of the chords in the video (more or less) so pay attention!

Verse:
**During the verse, he mostly just plays around between the F6add9 and Gm9 chords
  It's up to you how you want to jazz it up but basically he'll just hit a couple
  strings on the up stroke. This is just an example:

  F6add9      Gm9      F6add9        Gm9 ...e--------------------------------------------------11-...B--8---10---------10-----8---14---------10-----8---11-...G--7---10----10---10-----7---13-----10--10-----7---11-...D--7----------8----------7---12------8---------7------...A--8---------10----------8----------10---------8------...E-----------------------------------------------------...   v   ^      v    ^     v    ^      v   ^     v    ^
