I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

The Twelve Days Of Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone!
Traditional English
Rise Up Singing chapter: Good Times, p.91
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree
D - - - A - D - / D G D A D - - -
First three verses strum an A for calling birds, french hens and turtle doves.
Sorry, I'd love to explain more but I have to run out. Christmas day festivities! I'll write down the chords more dilligently tomorrow. The song itself begins at 1:11 if you want to skip the chatter.
Have a great day everyone!
