THE CHRISTMAS SONG (chestnuts roasting)

slow chord solo
many people are asking for the chords.i don't have the music,so i strummed along with ricky nelson on youtube.
these are the chords i came up with.these are backup chords to sing or play along with,and not the chords im using in the chord solo.
i've made it as simple as possible.ricky sings it in Bb.i transposed it to C.
if you don't know the chords,go to my lessons #5-6-7-8.
there are 4 beats to each measure.in measure 2, Em7 gets 2 beats Dm7 gets 1 beat G7 gets 1 beat.
you can fancy this up with the chord substitutions i've shown you in my lessons.good luck!
/CMa7 Dm7/Em7 Dm7G7/Am7 Gm7C7/FMa7 Fm6/
/Am7 Bb7/CMa7 B7/EMa7 Bb7/EbMa7 Dm7G7//
/CMa7 Dm7/Em7 Dm7G7/Am7 Gm7C7/FMa7 Fm6/
/Am7 Bb7/CMa7 B7/Em7A7Dm7G7/CMa7//
/Gm7 C7/Gm7 C7/Gm7 C7/FMa7/
/Fm7 Bb7/EbMa7 EbMa6/Dm7 G7/Dm7 G7//
/CMa7 Dm7/Em7 Dm7G7/Am7 Gm7C7/FMa7 Fm6/
/Am7 Bb7/CMa7 D9/Em7Am7Dm7G7/CMa7//

Mel Torme wrote it, Nat King Cole made it famous....I tell you a Chicagoan has to love this. Both men were born and raised here, so was I. Thanks for another wonderful spin on it!
