Ok, this is NOT an exact replica of the original song by Darius, but it is the way I play it on
the acoustic guitar and it is close. The original seemed to hard with too many chord changes, etc.
so i made this a simple version so you can play along with the song. Merry Christmas and enjoy this
great song during the holidays!!
