I can't seem to get the formatting down right, if any of you more experienced tabbers (if that makes sense!) have any tips please let me know! I am eager to get better at this.
Thanks

In the bleak mid winter, fro-sty wind made moan,
5 -5 6 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 4
Earth stood hard as i-ron, wa-ter like a stone
-5 5 -5 6 -6 -6 5 6 5 -4 4 -3
Snow had fall-en snow on snow snow o-on snow,
5 -5 6 5 -4 4 -4 5 -4 4 4
In the bleak mid win-ter lo-o-ong a-go
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him... give my heart.
Hey guys, this is my first tab, so let me know what you think.
Thanks,
Brian
