In The Bleak Midwinter

This is a version originally posted on a James Taylor forum and I believe it to be very close to the original recording. Intro   /           /      *1: SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM           *2: SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM Verse 1 In the bleak midwinter             Icy winds made moan Earth stood hard as iron           Water like a stone Snow on snow had fallen      Snow on snow on snow              +7/’   In the bleak midwinter long and long ago Instrumental Bridge   /       *     Verse 2 Angels and archangels            May have gathered there            Cherubim and seraphim    Rising in the air None but only Mary In her maiden bliss Worshipped the beloved   With a mother’s kiss Solo                          Bridge Heaven cannot hold Him Nor can earth sustain    Heaven and earth shall fall away When He comes to reign Instrumental Bridge   /       *     Verse 3 What then can I give Him? Empty as I am         If I were a shepherd        I would bring a lamb If I were a Wise Man I would  know my part     What then can I give Him? I must give my heart Ending /      /  /   /           /        *3: SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM *1:  Hit the G once (6th string) with your middle finger on the 3rd fret allowing for action with your index and ring fingers on the note pairs (1st - 3rd string):         (  da      )  /  etc. *2:  This is really a Bm7 flat 6th and very similar to the Frozen Man intro.  Tabbed like this: x24035 (fret)  x13x25 (finger) *3:  This is virtually the same as the Intro line as described in note 1.
