SILENT NIGHT
  Words: Joseph Mohr (Trans from various sources)
  Tune: Stille Nacht, Franz Gruber
  Season: Christmas

(Also in G)

  Tips: Use 3 fingers for A chord, drop 4th finger for F#m7 where needed. 
        Just hit the F# once to bring melody through.
       Same thing with D on 3rd and 4th lines. Use 1st and 2nd fingers to 
       do D, 3rd & 4th to play 5th & 4th frets on E string. 
       I have marked it as D5 & D4. D5 = 0 0 0 2 3 5   D5 = 0 0 0 2 3 4  
       Oh, and A* = F shape 0 0 7 6 5 5
  
  Played this as an item at Church. I started on 6 string acoustic, piano 
  came in on 2nd verse, organ came in for 3rd and 4th.
