Has anyone got a nice, tabbed C6th arrangement for this Christmas song?

G'morning Al, nice to see you've popped in too! If anyone comes up with a C6th Tab of Silent Night, (one of my very favorite CHRISTMAS Carols) I'd appreciate an email of it also. Merry Christmas every one! dan

I believe it should be a Christmas Song...in keeping with Christ. Some would call it a Holiday song which, if you go back to the original meaning of the word "Holiday", you'd find it comes from Holy Day. Therefore, it is both a Christmas song and a Holiday song ...

I don't see what the fuss is about, folks. Unless someone wants to keep this relevant to non-pedal steel guitar, it will be moved to Music.
May you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thanks a lot Andy! I use C-E-G-A-C-E tuning on a 6-string - I guess I should just crank up the bottom string to C# to suit your arrangement - is that right?

Thanks again!

You don't have to be a Christian to believe in Christmas.

Since it's such a simple pure song and I'm a beginner, I think I'll try to figure it out on my own. But I would like to know what advantages there are in using C# instead of C.
