I actually am glad to find this Your version is very nice and I like it better than Garth. Ive never been a garth fan, your voice is very nice and steady. Easy listening! God bless

[msmoonbeam91]

awsome! but this song always makes me cry

[rockstarink13]

i dont know why... but for some reason that made me cry

[cindydism]

This is of my favorite songs, from Garth Brooks. The true meaning of what Christmas is supposed to be. FROM THE HEART!! Not the pocket.



[biguncman221]

Awesome job man!!! you definitely nailed it, this song is really special to me, it made my grandfather cry because it reminded him of his daughter who passed away, so now everytime i hear it i think of him and glad that i found you singing this song!!!!

[Bigbaldbbq]

I am just beggining to play the guitar, I love this song! What is the strumming pattern? I want this to be the first whole song I learn.

[nd500barb]

Here it is in 2011 and your gift is still giving! As Sandi Patti would sing "The Gift Goes On".

Thank you, God bless you and an early Merry Christ-mas to you!

[memmnock]

That was really nice :-)

[cmcayen]

Awesome job, brought tears to my eyes.....you are truly blessed.

[sylvette2849]

I heard this song on CBC radio this morning....Thank you so much for posting this this! For some reason it reminds me of my father who passed away.

He loved these kinds of songs. Do you know of the song's origin?

You did a beautiful job with it by the way!

[KarlandMoore]

This is my favorite Christmas song as well and you did I wonderful version of it. You have a beautiful voice.

[guitarfuckinrocks]

hey great cover ,i really enjoyed it, great timing and voice.. I am trying to cover this song for my sick mother, please let me know what chord you did at 3:00 where you say "me".. i found that E works great for the start of that verse but cant find the next chord! thanks so much

[tjsongman]

@guitarfuckinrocks Hey, Thanks! The chord you are inquiring about is just a standard "B" bar chord!  Merry Christmas and I hope you're mother enjoys your version!

[tgrski]

Nice job. The song was wrote by Stephanie Davis. It was first recorded by Aselin Debison. Garth Brooks did it as a cover.

[mcholly24]

[tjsongman]

@CynJohansen03 You are welcome! I agree about the message. Glad you enjoyed it and thatnks for sharing it on FB! ;-)

[mistydawnnaomi]

Great job, can you tell me the chords you used. Thanks!

[tjsongman]

@mistydawnnaomi Thanks! The first part of the song is D-A-G...then transitions to E-B-A.

[jfwashere]

Great job...one of my favorites too. I was sitting here harmonizing with you !!!

[tjsongman]

@jfwashere Glad you enjoyed it! I LOVE good harmonies!!!

[dylan1allan2]

What a beautiful version, you have a wonderful voice

[tjsongman]

@dylan1allan2 Thank You x2!

[magicdust1]

This is the perfect acoustic version! You've done a great job! May I ask where you got the chords?

[tjsongman]

@magicdust1 You are TOO kind! At some point I'll be doing a finger picking style version that suits the song better! The only reason I strummed it was because I wasn't sure how much audio my camera would pick up! :-p I do appreciate your sentiment though. I got the chords from my ear...lol! Most of what I do is by ear, no formal training. You can find the chords I used in the other replies I've left!

[jacobgwerner]

By chance, do you live in chatsworth ca. your house looks exactly like my grandpas old house. great song! thanks jake

[tjsongman]

@jacobgwerner No...Rancho Cordova, Ca. Thanks for the compliment!!

[alliethom]

Oh but you're missing the point of this old folk song. It's one of my faves too! Maria would have missed the blessing if she had not been obedient. Thank you for sharing.
