Christmas Medley - Theocracy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: CowManJones
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
**********************************************************************************
** So for this chord submission, I got the chords for each of these songs from **
** other chord submissions here on UG and I listened to find the appropriate **
** key for this medley and transposed them as needed. These chords are intended **
** for acoustic guitar and only offer an approximation of the original sound, **
** as such, I didn't specify instructions for the parts that really rely on the **
** power metal sound. **

[Angels We Have Heard on High]
E B7 E
Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply
E B7 E
Echoing their joyous strains.

Note: This section is simplified a bit. Also, the bass notes are impossible
to play with the lead the way I have it. Sorry about that! Maybe someone
smarter than me can figure that out.
