The Waitresses-Christmas Wrapping
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: The different verse parts are there to highlight the fills. It may have
been a mistake to try and get as much detail in, but the fills are pretty
integral.
I missed at least one out, before the jingle bells riff in the second chorus.
I'm sure there's loads more in there, and you'll need to play along with the
recording and listen hard to get the ghost notes and pick up therhythm.
The parts are played in the order:
Intro

Verse riff 2 repeat X4
Verse end
