Barry Manilow (born June 17, 1943 in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American pop singer-songwriter, musician, arranger, producer, conductor, and performer, best known for such recordings as "Could It Be Magic", "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without You", and "Copacabana (At the Copa)".
In 1978, five of his albums were on the best-selling charts simultaneously, a feat equaled only by Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Mathis.

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.
