Doesn't Have To Be That Way chords by Holiday

Chords with lyrics

Hello there Cowpie friends. I'm not sure if there's a X-mas Issue
coming out but if there is, you might like a bit of borderline-country
with a certain X-mas feel to it. At least that's how I'd describe this
excellent song.
Either my guitar is off tune or Jim played this in C#. I'm doing it in
C majorC for easy reference, but if you wish to play it in C#C# put a capo on
fret 1. Playing it exactly as Croce does would be quite a challenge,
but I'm using a simple picking pattern on the open chords.
So, y'all have a nice Christmas, and if you have some making up to do
to your love, this one will absolutely do the trick - and possibly more
than that - none of which I shall be held responsible for :)
