Note: Can be played on diatonic 'harps,just use F for F7 and partial A7 (no third)
CHORD CHARTS Grouped 4 measures (either 3 beat or 4 beat) per line. For instance, chords accompany lyrics in first song thus: F F Bb F A- way in a man- ger no crib for a bed When a bar is split, either divide equally 2/2 or with a beat designated: “~” So the last two measures of the first song go: Gm ~ / C7 F sleep on the hay Away in a Manger 3 / 4 F F Bb F C7 C7 F F F F Bb F C7 F Gm~/C7 F Auld Lang Syne 4 / 4 F C F / F7 Bb F C7~ ~/A7 Dm~/Gm/C7 F~ ~/C7 F C7 F / F7 Bb F C7~ ~/A7 Dm~/Gm/C7 F~ ~/C7 The Bells of St Mary’s 4 / 4 F F Bb Bb F C7 Dm C7 F F Bb Bb F/C/Bb/F F/C/Bb/F G7 /C7 F Coventry Carol 3/4 * Gm Gm F D Gm Cm Gm Gm F F Cm D Gm Cm~/D G G

TRANSPOSITION CHART
KEY: Bb F C G D I Bb F C G D IIm Cm Gm Dm Am Em II7 C7 G7 D7 A7 E7 IIIm Dm Am Em Bm F#m III7 D7 A7 E7 B7 F#7 IV Eb Bb F C G V F C G D A V7 F7 C7 G7 D7 A7 VIm* Gm Dm Am Em Bm VI7 G7 D7 A7 E7 B7 VII A E B F# C# *relative minor You can change (transpose) a song to a different key by substituting the corresponding chord of a color block. Of course, the MIDI accompaniments are in the key of the transcription. Note that “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen” is in Dm, the relative minor key of F. “Coventry Carol” is in Gm, relative minor of Bb. If you do not see any notes altered with a sharp, flat, or natural sign in a given notation, the melody can be played on a diatonic autoharp, although you may need partial II7, III7, and/or VI7 chords.
