play: A
key: B

CHORDS
The tabs in PJVillanueva's excellent tab of this song reproduce the
keyboard voicings perfectly:
http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/p/paul_mccartney/wonderful_christmas_time_tab.htm
But I found it hard to accompany myself singing this song and
simultaneously playing the chords on the higher frets. If you have
the same problem this might be a solution:
Verse→ Phiên khúc
E-A-D-G-B-e
Amaj7 x-0-6-6-5-x or x-0-2-1-2-0
A6 x-0-4-2-2-x
E/A x-0-2-1-0-0
"Ding dong" part #1
E-A-D-G-B-e
A7 x-0-2-0-2-x
A6 x-0-4-2-2-x
A x-0-2-2-2-x
D6 x-x-0-4-3-2
/[Solo]
The chords in the chorus and in the solo are not easy to play.
But it is possible to leave all the jazzy options aside and
play them straight. If you want to hear the voicings of
the original, however, here are some suggestions:
E-A-D-G-B-e
Bm7 x-2-4-2-3-2
E9 0-2-0-1-0-2
C#m7 x-4-6-4-5-4
F#m9 2-4-2-2-2-4
D x-x-0-2-3-5
G9 3-5-3-4-3-5 or 3-x-0-2-0-1
A x-0-2-2-2-0
Amaj7 x-0-6-6-5-x
Bm/A x-0-4-4-3-x
A x-0-2-2-2-x
Amaj7* x-0-7-6-5-4 or (easier) x-0-2-1-2-0
Amaj13 x-0-6-6-7-7 or (easier) x-0-2-1-0-2
