Bring some festive cheer to your playing with this clawhammer banjo tab for We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Its cheerful melody and lilting 3/4 rhythm are presented in two progressive arrangements. The large, colour-coded SIMPLY SONGS version offers an approachable starting point for beginners, while the Standard TAB adds fuller chord sounds, hammer-ons, pull-offs and extra rhythmic detail for confident beginners ready to develop the tune further.
Style: Clawhammer banjo
Tuning: Open G — gDGBD
Key: G major
Time signature: 3/4
SIMPLY SONGS difficulty: Confident
Standard TAB difficulty: Intermediate / Advanced
Techniques: Single-note melody, chord brushes, fifth-string notes, hammer-ons and pull-offs
Chords: G, C, A, D, Em and D7
Lyrics included: Yes, including two additional verses
Digital format: Digital PDF download
Length: 3 PDF pages across both arrangements
Begin with the SIMPLY SONGS arrangement and concentrate on keeping the three-beat rhythm steady as the melody moves through the colour-coded chord sections. The occasional grouped notes can then help you introduce a fuller sound. In the Standard TAB, the melody is developed with chord brushes, fifth-string notes, hammer-ons and pull-offs. Work through these additions gradually while keeping the familiar melody and gentle rhythmic flow clear.
Start with the SIMPLY SONGS version—a clear, approachable and easy-to-read banjo tab with larger notation and a simplified arrangement. It is designed for beginners, visual learners and players who find traditional banjo tablature difficult to read.
When ready for an extra challenge, progress to the Standard TAB, which provides a more complete clawhammer banjo arrangement with additional notes, techniques and musical detail.
Together, the two versions provide a clear path from understanding and playing the essential tune to developing a richer arrangement.
