Performed by the Vince Guaraldi Trio from A Charlie Brown Christmas album, here are the chords to
Christmas Time Is Here. The words are by Lee Mendelson and of course the music is by the famous Vince Guaraldi, written in 1966. I love the tune played slowly with the pedal in 3/4 time signature. For more information, visit www.vinceguaraldi.com/
