"Last Christmas" by Wham

Available on almost every Christmas album

Transcribed by Hamish McCool


This is based on an acoustic version James Dean Bradfield of the Manic
Street Preachers played as a one-off for TFI Friday on British TV many
years ago. I don't have a VIDEO of the performance (yes, it is that old
) but here are the chords he used and it actually can sound quite good
played by just an acoustic guitar. Or at least as good as any other Wham
song could.

                   Standard tuning  - E A D G B e

Dsus2                        Dsus2  - x x 0 2 3 0

Last Christmas...


Bm                           Bm     - x 2 4 4 3 2

The very next day...


Emadd9                       Emadd9 - 0 2 4 0 0 0

This year...


Asus2                        Asus2  - x 0 2 2 0 0

I'll give it...


And just keep going - every verse and chorus follows the same chord
sequence. You can play fart about with this song such as playing Em instead 
of or before adding Emadd9 or instead of playing Asus2 try
x 0 7 6 0 0 and changing it to an Asus4 type chord with
x 0 7 7 0 0 and back again, etc.

Just make sure you get your snog under the mistletoe.
