Happy Xmas (War is Over)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: soprano C
John & Yoko / Plastic Ono Band with the Harlem Community Choir
Happy Xmas (War is Over) (1971)
(Lennon/Ono)
I transposed this tab to G (a little easier to play, at least for me).
To match the original recording put on one of those cute ukulele
capos on the 2nd fret or transpose this tab up +2 to the key of A.
