Greatest Time Of Year tab by Aly & Aj

Guitar Tab

Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard EADGBe on both Aly, Aj, Guitar 3 and a bell
All of them have a capo on first fret to make the E-shaped chords sound as F. This is
how our 2 girls play on their video on MTV. This is also a soundtrack to the movie Santa
3.

* - means harmonics
