For the player
Sarah McLachlan with Ed Robertson — the 1996 backstage take on Barenaked for the Holidays. Swing at BPM = 185. The part changes jobs instead of sitting on one pattern. God verses walk through Bbmaj7 and Gm — don’t park on a root. “O tidings” (0:26) is the open F and C with the ties. Kings verses drop to mp; “Star of wonder” (1:08) is f, roots and rests, then the short walk into Bbmaj7. Outro (3:06) is the only place the slides are written; last note is a held Dm. Stay under the vocal. Listen first; at BPM = 185 the job is the feel.
Bass Guitar Tablature for “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings” by Barenaked Ladies with Sarah McLachlan.
