Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Lead your ear this way
Don't you tell a single soul, what I'm going to say
Christmas Eve is coming soon
Now you dear old man
Whispher what you'll bring to me, Tell me if you can.

That was Jolly Old St. Nicholas. It's a very easy ... but sentimental song. Always makes
me think of tin trains for some reason. It consists of just three chords, and I know
your gonna learn them and love'em. The chords are, A, E and D. On the piano they look like
this. We have A. E. And D. And that's basically it. You add the melody in your right hand.
And once you get the hang of those three chords, feel free to start arpeggiating or breaking
up that chord. There's rhythm written on the page, but by no means do you need to feel
... restricted by those melodies.
