In response to the request for Christmas songs, here is an arrangement
of "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear".   The song is in 3/4 time and
written here in the key of C.  The symbols below the tab are for
timing purposes:  one and two and three and,  etc.
                  ^   .   ^   .   ^     .

The chords all are pretty basic.  As far as the F and F6 go, I find
it easier to use the thumb to play the 6th string/1st fret rather
than using the barre F.  It makes for a much smoother transition 
when changing from C to F and back to C again.  Enjoy...
