Christmas Is The Time To Say I Love You
Billy Squier
Text File
*********************************************************************
Please read:
I wanted to do this song with my band for a Holiday gig and thought it would be much
to learn and play in a short time if I altered the existing tab by not using the capo and
transposing it down a half step to the key of F instead of F#.
Also note that for the guitar solo you should play the chords like this:
F Bb F - F Bb F INSTEAD of the
progression of F Bb F - F Dm Gm.
The rest of the solo follows formula, it's just that one change you need to remember for
lead guitar to play over. I've noted it below.
Enjoy!
T-bone
