Another Christmas song with no reference to Christmas in it but I loved the version by keonepax with Bosko and Honey I had to write it up.
In the chord chart I’ve shown the chord inversions that keonepax is playing, but it’s great to mix them up with other inversions. Here are a few possibilities.
In the solo Bosko is using quite a few sixths:
And finishes of with a cool little variation on the Hawaiian turnaround. Here’s my take on the same idea:
I like the secular “Christmas” songs. I can appreciate the sentiment of the Christmas season without believing in anyone’s particular theological safety blanket. Anyway let’s get real it’s a celebration of the winter solstice and i think we can all agree the winter solstice rules…nothing but longer days ahead after all (sorry southern hemisphereer’s).
That said i don’t think i’ve ever heard that first bit of this song.
Anyway thanks for the seasonally appropriate songs they’ll be fun with the fam!

Nelson: Hope it goes down well.
Chris: Yeah, I don’t remember hearing the first part before, either. It’s a shame because it sets the song up very nicely.
Please do an instrumental version for this song! This is like the coolest sounding thing on ukulele.
