I'll try this over the next few day's. Thanks also for the tips on my last offering Blue Christmas. (I'm pretty sure I got the strum pattern wrong. Apologies!) Happy Christmas to you and yours Matt.

here's the song. For Chris, try playing this with DD UUD strummming for the verses, and DD strumming for the bits in the chorus that you are only on for a short time. All the best, Matt
