Sorry don't know the strum pattern so well done for having a go, as far as the walkdown goes, you can use a really easy one even with open chords.

On the G to the E just imagine what's happening to the low E string, you're going from fretting it on the 3rd fret, to playing it open.

So on the G, play it normally, then on the low E string just do

3 - 2 - 0 to get you back to E. Its just a question of getting the timing of this right so it sounds ok, but sure you;ll be able to play around with it.

Nice xmassy song mate!

Have a strummy kinda christmas

All the best

First heard this way back in time. Bought a cheap Elvis Christmas LP on RCA Camden in Woolies one Christmas mid 70's. It's just a classic. Lost the LP yonks ago. Luckily found this version on a Country tab site. It works great. Easy chords too! Go on impress the relatives Christmas night!

Use a Capo on fret 2 for the key Elvis used.

Strum pattern? I here you all cry! Oh God (This is my first attempt at this, tell me if its wrong!) DDDDD_UUD I think

Where are Matt and Vic when I need them!
