Guitar chords with lyrics
This is a fantastic Welsh carol that deserves to be part of every Christmas celebration. The title in Welsh is Tua Bethlehem Derf, and it is tricky to find a good version. There is a band called "Lost Hollow" who has a nice arrangement available on Spotify that I recommend. I won't be writing their arrangement, but they show that there is plenty of room in this song for creative harmonies and musical breaks. Enjoy what may be the most haunting melody in all of Christmas music.A minorAm can be substituted for A5, but for solo acoustic it adds an important texture.
