Howdy...this is actually my first post, but I've been lurking around
since this group started and I love it!! So, since I'm a newbie,
please don't be too harsh if I'm totally wrong on my simplistic
arrangement of "Sleigh Ride".....
I play the da-da-da part just by strumming a gook ol' "A" chord....
-----0---0---0-2---
----2---2---2----4-
---2---2---2-------
--2---2---2--------

This is one of those songs that play at least a part of everytime I
pick up my guitar....that's why I love the holidays, then my
neighbors don't think I'm quite as nuts for playing christmas songs
in July!
Good luck!
