Happy holidays! Some friends and I found a nice version of "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)," and I like to play that one. Here are the tabs for it:
HAPPY CHRISTMAS (WAR IS OVER)
Verses. There are two sets of chords/tabs for each verse, played consecutively.
The corresponding chords are G, Am, D, and G. The tabs incorporate suspended versions of the chords.

A new one just begun

Verse 2 (use tabs)
And so happy Christmas
For weak and for strong
The rich and the poor ones
The road is so long
So happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
[Chorus]
Verse 3 (use tabs)
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear ones
The old and the young
[Chorus]
Outro (use first set of the verse tabs - G, Am, D, and G.
War is over if you want it
War is over now (repeat and fade)
Here are members of the San Francisco ukulele rebellion playing Happy Christmas (War Is Over). Some of us are playing the tabs, others are playing the corresponding chords.
