[fordlyrics]

I LOVE IT!

[Rapture1171]

Guitar player = God , Love it !

[TheGlennrice]

so good

[speckyben]

hes not on the same level as the pogues but this shits all over the ronan keating version

[benji15000]

Can someone tab this please.

[KeanosMagicHat1]

Would love to hear him perform this as a proper duet with a female artist.

[Bikemonkey7]

This is total bollocks,you

[fowwshizzlemanizzle]

Oh so those are the words to this song... I think I prefer it slurred drunkenly when you can't understand it. Still a nice cover :)

[MegaannXD]

Ahh if only i would of heard this during Christmas, would have been perfect for how my life was back then =] I'll just keep it until next Christmas

[kbailamos]

its not even christmas, but im still listening to him! brilliant

[aimeejoseph100]

WHY IS NO-ONE LISTENING TO THIS GUY?! HE'S AWESOME!

[carlaeleni]

ah why did i not find this before christmas!!

[shoottheheadcase]

@peacefrog1916 just answer me one question in what way is it Shite

[shoottheheadcase]

@mrders82 you may not like it but does not give you the right to stereo type every one in England and do you what the original you cannot understand most of it

[willizkoolasfuck]

this was the best song i have ever heard; then it took a Maverick Sabre to the sound

[HulaHippy1]

@willizkoolasfuck you mean it became understandable? yeah i hate when that happens...

[Supernovarolla]

Still loving this cover! :D

[jonno1130]

Amazing! U r gonna hit big.

[andygermaine]

Brilliant song, superb guitar adaptation, splendid vocal, Ten out of ten.

[anonymouslolxD]

The amount of stupid comments here just goes to show how many dumb fuckers there are.

[Tonyhowe101]

I love this song and Maverick has done a brilliant cover of it :D

[khobbs63]

[TwLe1995]

BEST NOISE EVER! 1:25

[HarveySwan]

Favorite Christmas Song

Favorite Artist

Favourite Accent!

been on replay since i found it 45 minutes ago!

[ejroxsx123x]

to everyone who says his shit, go listen to something else and stop complaing, he freakin awesome snm.

[midfielderlegend]

Totally amazing. He made this song his own! Brilliant. The pogues are brilliant too.

[WTFstep]

I'm not being funny this is as good as the original mostly because he doesnt sound drunk...

[T31NGM0UTHLADZ]

@WTFstep As great of a band the pogues they were still alcholics with 2 teeth :L

[peacefrog1916]

Shite. But if it turns a new generation onto the Pogues then fair enough.

[lucylou80beii]

Dont fukin dis MY maverick ! 7

[lucylou80beii]

I seriously need to stop listening to maverick ! im in love ! <3

[walshy69soldier]

Absolutely brilliant

[xemcxx]

my science teacher wouldnt let us leave her lesson until we listened to this

[MetalMerky]

I actually love this, I love the original, Get over yourselves, They're both good versions, Deal with it ;)

[mrders82]

@shoottheheadcase Perhaps if you learned to spell then your reply may hold more weight. It isn't trolling because you don't agree with someones opinion.

[coxey1000]

As mentioned by @TheMCJack1.... Qualitee!!

[joff93]

to the people talking about the song and the accent.... yes nothing can come close to the original! this is however a really good cover, not to mention the absolutely brilliant guitar skills. Now for the accent, people saying its a bad accent and stuff like that.... he grew up in ireland, there is going to be an irish twang in there.... hell listen to him speak, he switches accents all the time! Guy is talented! <3

[ShanaE200494]

Beautiful :)

[mrders82]

@AndyWoods16 The fact that you say it wasn't sung in an Irish accents speaks volumes about your hearing abilities.

[mrders82]

Typical, most English people will lap it up if it's sung in an Irish accent. Even if it is as bad as this was.

[AndyWoods16]

@mrders82 This wasnt sung in an irish accent AND it sounds good.

[shoottheheadcase]

@mrders82 actually we lap it up because it a good song so lurn some thing about music before you go and troll i happen to find this better then the original

[MikeNicholsonVideos]

I like!

[24jongy]

Probably the shittest cover EVER!

[josshillary]

@24jongy Cunt



[shoottheheadcase]

@24jongy fuck off and stop being a scum bag, a maggot and a cheap lousy faggot and lurn some thing about good music

[adlfc36]

Great cover of a classic

[bronyaMARKdryden]

love this song it soo calming :) xxxx

[JT967]

i'll start listening to a lot more xmas songs if he's covering them, quality voice.

[ElliotP1992]

i love this.

[ahmady123]

Have to admit at first it wasn't great. But then turned out to be a really good cover.

[MsAnniewilson]

he's so cute

[Nighthawknoob]

Wtf was that shit I mean Leona Lewis killing hurt now this shit what is the world coming to hope it ends listening to this shite fml

[Perilix]

@Nighthawknoob So, you dislike it? I personally enjoy it as a good cover of a great song.

[xOStarryEyedOx23]

Stunning x

[harryfarr]

i used to sing like that, then i got an arrow through my knee

[andyizere92]

@harryfarr Sky-Rim friend. Loser.

[27069614]

@harryfarr I used to make arrow to the knee jokes, then i took sense to the head...

[SuperAITCH1]

Is someone windin me up, this is the worst cover ever. What a cattawall, wouldn't throw him a penny in the street.

[Fothergill123]

Don't understand why everyone thinks his voice is good, he sounds retarded.

[123duckmysick123]

SOUNDS LIKE PAOLO NUTINI!

[brownp1]

I was going to do a cover of this song. Then I took an arrow to the knee

[JetpackTag]

@brownp1

thats not even relevant here...

[TheWeaseltamer]

brilliant!



[Alexchalmersrevo]

Any1 who can't c this as a great cover doesn't know much about music. Great vocals

[MsAnniewilson]

beautiful. 

[joe11131]

Why was he reading it can't he remember the words!!

[MrCriticize]

Meh

[smudge5975]

Maverick your voice is unique man..

[MrStrictlyBodacious]

Maverick Sabre looks like fucking HUMPTY DUMPTY!

[timmo1986]

Incredible

[ThatSingingEgg]

Loving' it! Original!

[mrmunchkin92]

Murdered a classic :S

[jordanmeakin2000]

is this song on itunes?

[jordanmeakin2000]

wooow what a guy 

[Bloodrunner84]

I used a bald ugly singer on radio 1, but then i took an arrow in the knee

[andyizere92]

@Bloodrunner84 Sky-Rim friend! Loser.

[conneleven]

Best cover I've heard of this song, ever. I actually prefer it to the original myself!

[Georgeyboy95]

I'm sorry, but this is one of those songs you just don't cover!

[Conkkaa]

yeah so i've just raped the replay button

[TwLeZHub]

Only person who could pull off a cover of this song! <3

[catdogratboy]

woo beautiful x

[FISHGOMOO4321]

To everyone complaining that he's "Ruining a classic". Chill the fuck out. He's just doing a cover for Christmas. He's not stealing the song, nor is he trying to butcher it. He's just doing his best to make a good cover, and they both achieved that.

Get your snobby heads out of your own arses and learn something about music.

[SuperJAD3]

@FISHGOMOO4321 People are afraid of something new, I love his version it's beautiful he doesnt look like he sounds lol

[andyizere92]

@FISHGOMOO4321 Amen.

[dudewitheblackbike]

Unreal! Reminds me of Rooney a wee but though :/

[god316]

What the fuck? Just like films leave the classics alone

[dazzcelt]

@god316 Agreed in a way. Its a song that needs the imperfection of Shanes voice. This is a good cover though, cant take the away from the guy.

[BigDomTheFirst]

fabulous guitar... where can i find this tab?

[fakesoundsjazz1983]

@BigDomTheFirst hey bigdom, i arranged this the night before the session so there's no tab but a few people have been asking for it so i might write one out.. send me an email later on and i'll get it sent to you when i get a chance!

[TeardropTrashcan]

utter crap original is a classic almost as bad as the bloody coldplay version

[wrigg8y]

1:28 COME ON CHRIS!

[TDGinge]

What guitar is that? Sounds great!! :)

[fakesoundsjazz1983]

@TDGinge It's a NINEBOYS acoustic guitar. Amazingly good value for money.. check out nineboys on youtube Nineboys SJ15VS or there website..

[TDGinge]

@fakesoundsjazz1983 Thanks! :) They look good, is that the one you were using? The SJ15VS?

As on the website it isnt a cutaway and yours on here is. :)

Sorry to be picky just really like the sound and am in the market for a new acoustic.

Also, is the one here you are using an electro? Cheers.

Many thanks.

[fakesoundsjazz1983]

@TDGinge Hey TD, the model im playing on this one is a J15CE P. Great guitar and yes its an electro acoustic with a built in tuner and a nice fishman pickup i think.. Think nineboys are doing a christmas discount thing at the moment too..

[Liammau5]

He sounds so much like paolo nutini here !

[robot863]

To those who are hating on this because he didn't write: that's the whole point of the live lounge, to sing something that someone made

[Captainladyspunkful]

whys there not a love button

[horsingaround111]

24 people are bums, punks, maggots and scumbags.

[andyizere92]

@horsingaround111 and cheap lowsey faggots!

[Morfee]

@horsingaround111 and faggots?

[catdogratboy]

woo beautiful x

[subobaggins]

gorgeous

[JellieTelly]

I actually don't like Maverick Sabre but i did enjoy this version

[mattymahone]

nor can he pronounce words. sounds like hes having a stroke

[mattymahone]

What a fucking shite pile of shite. Stop ruining this song please. Fuck the BBC

[roughneckryan]

He doesn't even know the fucking words, hahaha.

[roughneckryan]

What a joke this version is. It's nearly as bad as the Paloma Faith version last year. What is wrong with these hacks ruining classics. Just move the fuck on and try and write your own shit. Butchered.

[AndyWoods16]

@roughneckryan You kidding?! You must be fucking deaf !

[sgntpepper1976]

Shite

[LewieDoggin]

This was about as good as finding out Father Christmas does not exist! What is it with divs ruining superb songs?

[iliginjaili]

Personally, the way he repeatedly went from quiet to loud made it seem very stoppy starty and that annoyed the hell out of me...

[eaazy1]

QUALITY

[djsnuffone]

charlie u dealt with that guitar fam! salute the pair of ya

[inthelittlewood]

This came on my radio the moment I woke up the other morning, couldn't have started the day any better :)

[hollyjuicyberry]

Love it sweet voice

[revDLK]

Brill version

[MARCEL4747]

Maverick Sabre killed it! You've got a new fan!

[magswonnowt]

what a pile of shite

[psargeable]

goose bumps.. such a beautiful song <3

[elliefinlayson]

CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE

[CircleJerkHOLLIS]

He is a Jamaican!

[IamJoeHumphreys]

I never knew Wayne Rooney could sing.

So this is how he spends match banned time

[Conkkaa]

he should release this <3

[FourStickNinja]

This is a really nice version, he's got a great voice (even though personally I don't like the way he says "the boys of NYPD choir" and not "the boys of the NYPD choir" - it makes him sound thick) but the lyrics don't make sense being sang by one person, this song really needs to be a duet. Sounds cracking, but doesn't make too much sense.

[nomz4thescript]

BEST NOISE EVER 1:27 <3

[nightmarekid1986]

grant mitchell can sing

[nightmarekid1986]

@nightmarekid1986 i meant phil mitchell

[mijo0797]

Shit

[nomz4thescript]

best lyrics "they have cows big as bars, they got rivers of gold" <3

[Fothergill123]

@nomz4thescript its "cars" you idiot

[nomz4thescript]

@Fothergill123 i know but it sound like he says bars :D

[Fothergill123]

@nomz4thescript he does say bars! "They have cars big as bars"

[nomz4thescript]

@Fothergill123 cows* not cars lol :D xxx

[Fothergill123]

@nomz4thescript no its cars, does cows and bars rhyme?

[Ogwena22]

I love this version...... One of the only few who don't like the progues version. X

[JTKWL]

I LOVE HIM! Gutted that I missed this on the radio!!!

[mynamesholly]

Brilliant

[Vickkie7]

Brilliant :-) thought it was amazing when heard it yesterday morning. He has such an interesting voice!

[MrRyanorrey]

Guitarist = Simon from Inbetweeners?

[gradioconnell]

This boy has a HUGE future ahead of him! Absolutely STUNNING cover of that song - can't wait to see him at the Roundhouse in March - God bless you all and Merry Xmas xx

[R0sieP0siexox]

It's CHRISTMASSSSSSS!

[janinechisholm]

[thepotterfan98]

yay for fairytale of new york

[decemberbirthdaygirl]

Beautiful!

[EddieLFCLucas]

maverick christmas everyone

[MajesticClangers]

killed it.

[DEEPSEAPEANUT]

Absolutely love this version just as good as the original

Brilliant

[jessi92]

pfft. you can't irish dance to this.

[bouncybugsy]

if the original wasnt emotional enough, i think this one is! thumbs up to lovely , non-cheesey christmas songs;!

[franknpop999]

Love this. Saw Maverick at the Concorde in brighton and he smashed it. He did an equally brilliant cover of Wonderwall. Amazing vocal talent

[daniel93369]

chrismasssssssssssssssssssssss­ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sss

[bethlouisedavies]

Gave me goosebumps yesterday morning. I love it!

[RandomJ011]

Who knew Wayne Rooney had such a good voice.

[isabellovesthescript]

@RandomJ011 thats so old haha GROW UP!!!

[SEBWS]

Really can't work out weather I love this or not, might be a grower

[Moleskineman]

I'd like it better if he didn't keep pausing in the middle of lines. I know it's his style, but I think it would suit the music more if he let it flow.

[redinfernum]

totally awesome



[psychojim1965]

you know the words! ( reads off paper) good job on this one!

[Jellywonderhorse]

That is amazing. If he brought this out. I would buy it 50 times

[jebadier]

This was awsome this morning, couldnt wait to hear it again, thanks for posting.

[fairziff]

Made my drive to work this morning very difficult.

Stunning and moving!

[jamiejazzy]

2 people have no taste...

[CharmfulLunatica]

@jamiejazzy Or maybe they just prefer the original....

[livlifegraphics]

as much as i usually find maverick sabre's voice irritating, i must admit i did like this cover he does it some justice, he sings this well, it seems to have emotion even tho he has to read the lyrics lol

[2ndairborn]

i want the chords for the guitar does any1 know them please lol

didnt like this to start with but actually he sings this very well

well done maverick and the guitar player

[fakesoundsjazz1983]

@2ndairborn theyre pretty simple chords, mainly just D G and C with a Bm thrown in sometimes.. the other parts i just listened to what the piano was doing on the original and tried to play it like that really.. any questions feel free to ask :) charlie

[MartinC1504]

This is awesome! Love this guys voice. Hearing this was a breath of fresh air when you're used to hearing the pouges version 100 times every Christmas.

[smileyynia]

this is amazing another great tune by Maverick Sabre!!! :)

[biguns151]

amazing cover very unique voice but he just proved different is brilliant
