            CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
                      BARRY MANILOW
NOTE: The timing to this song is everything... Please
      listen closely for it so that you can play this
      song correctly.
For the  G Bm  C  D it is best to use 2 strums for each chord.
        // // // //
Lastly, because of the chords used in this song and the key change
I would suggest strongly that you use barre chords to play the song
especially after the key change as transposing the song will not make
it any easier to play. Using barre chords however does make it playable
for beginners in my opinion.
