→ Then start Verse 1
“Oh come all ye faithful…”
🎸 Fingerpicking Pattern (during verse if desired)
A gentle 4-beat arpeggio pattern fits beautifully:
P – i – m – a – m – i
(where P = thumb, i = index, m = middle, a = ring)
Example on G chord:
G
e|-------3------|
B|-----0--------|
G|---0----------|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|-3------------|
→ play in continuous motion: thumb–index–middle–ring–middle–index
🎸 Ending / Outro TAB
You can repeat the intro pattern and finish on a strong, open G chord like this:
G (final)
e|---3----|
B|---0----|
G|---0----|
D|---0----|
A|---2----|
E|---3----|
Let it ring naturally for a full, resonant ending.
💡 Optional Touches
Lightly brush the final chord once more after it fades (like church bells echoing).
Add a gentle ritardando (slow down) in the last two measures.
You can also hum the first line of the melody during the intro for a vocal cue.

🎶 How to Play It
Play slowly and evenly, letting each note ring.
Use your thumb for bass notes on the low strings, index/middle/ring for melody.
Let open strings sustain as much as possible — that gives it a church bell sound.
End with a slow strum or arpeggio of the final G chord, letting it ring.
💡 Optional Flow for Performance
Start with this fingerstyle intro.
Move into verse 1 with strumming or arpeggio accompaniment.
Return to this fingerstyle version as an instrumental interlude or ending.
