This is my first tab ever. I noticed that there were tabs available for the Barenaked
Christmas medley, but they all seemed to be for some sort of messy sounding live version.
figured these out from the album version. You know, the one with Sarah McLachlan.

The story behind the song

This song, written by Pete Townshend, is a central piece of the rock opera Tommy. It delves into the anxieties of Tommy's father on Christmas morning, grappling with his son's future and spiritual well-being given Tommy's condition of being deaf, dumb, and blind. The lyrics starkly contrast religious themes with Tommy's unawareness, posing a profound question about his salvation and the nature of original sin. At its core, it's a poignant exploration of despair and hope in the face of insurmountable challenges.
