Welcome To Our World
Words and music by Chris Rice
©1995 Clumsy Fly Music

This is an amazing song, especially for Christmas – so beautifully
written! There are some good chord sheets for this song already up 
on the site, but I’ve tabbed out the chords and melody here. I tried 
to format the chords after piano (where the notes fall right in a row 
down the fretboard, ie: x532xx is Dm), but after you get the gist, there 
are plenty of other chord shapes you could add. I had included some 
lyrics as reference points for the melody, but CGR doesn’t allow them, 
so you will just have to depend on your ears. Don’t hold me to the chord 
names – I learned my music theory on the streets! Enjoy!
