Wassailing Song Chords

Theres only one other version of this tab available, and mine writes out the chords for every verse and interpolates the chorus between each verse. Loreena McKennitt first introduced me to this song. Even though she sings an a-capella version with a choir, I thought it still merited a chord chart so I could sing it with my ukulele. The strumming pattern is basic start with an up-stroke as a pickup note in the beginning and use a heavy down beat.Was this info helpful?
