Slade – Merry Christmas Everybody Acoustic chords ver. 2
Chords:
This classic song by the 70s UK Glam Rock stars: Slade was originally played on electric guitar which would have meant a lot of barre chords. However, Ive done this as an acoustic guitar-friendly version for those who prefer to cut down on their barred chords. If you are not an advanced player, you can stick to the chords excluding those in brackets (and in fact if you dont like a barred Bm, you can play just Em in its place throughout quite comfortably it sounds close enough in this context). Better players can bring in the bracketed chords. Note: D alt is an altered version of D, there are 2 choices shown one with quite a stretch on the little finger, the other with a move up the neck take your choice!) Have fun... Merry Christmas (if it's that time of year) and if you have any comments feel free to email as below. Cheers, David Chord shapes:Am Bb Bm C D7 D Dsus4 Dmin Dalt Em G0-----1-----2-----0-----2-----2-----3-----1-----2 or 5----0-----3--|1-----3-----3-----1-----1-----3-----3-----3-----3----7----0-----0--|2-----3-----4-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2----7----0-----0--|2-----3-----4-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----5----7----2-----0--|0-----x-----2-----3-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x----x----2-----2--|x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----x-----3-----x-----x----x----0-----3--|G (Em)Bm D (Dsus4 D)Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?G (Em)Bm D (Dsus4 D)It's the time that every Santa has a ballC GDoes he ride a red nosed reindeer?C GDoes he turn up on his sleighAm C DDo the fairies keep him sober for a day?Chorus:(D7) G Bm Bb DSo here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having funG Bm Bb (D)Look to the future now it's only just begunG Bm D (Dsus4 D Dalt)Are you waiting for the family to arrive?G Bm D (Dsus4 D Dalt)Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?C GDoes your granny always tell yaC Gthat the old songs are the best?Am C D (Dsus4 D Dalt)Then she's up and rock 'n' rollin' with the restChorus:(D7) G Bm Bb DSo here it is merry Christmas everybody's having funG Bm Bb (D)Look to the future now it's only just begunDm BbWhat will your daddy doDm BbWhen he sees your Mama kissin' Santa Claus?C->DAh ahD7 G Bm D (Dsus4 D Dalt)Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?D7 G Bm D (Dsus4 D Dalt)Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?C DDo you ride on down the hillsideC Din a buggy you have made?Am C DWhen you land upon your head then you've been Slade(slayed)Chorus x4:D7 G Bm Bb DSo here it is Merry Christmas everybody's having funG Bm Bb DLook to the future now it's only just begunBy David G 2010 davidguy333@gmail.com.
