Amitin) Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24) by SAVATAGE From the Album, "Dead Winter Dead" Transcription by: Daniel M. Amitin If you don't have "Dead Winter Dead" I would suggest you buy a a copy real soon. It is some of the best music I have heard in a long time. All of the songs are truly inspired, and the guitar work is truly phenominal. This is the song (and part of the larger story) where the Old Chellist is playing Christmas music during the shelling of Sarajevo on Christmas Eve. When the songs end, so does the music as he was killed. (This _is_ a true story, I remember seeing it on the News when it happened.) This song has some of the best arranging I have seen in a long time. It starts off "Rest ye Merry Gentlemen", and goes into "Carol of the Bells". I've done my best to include piano, guitar, flute, and bell parts. This is the backround part Chello plays this over Play many times. e:--------------------------|---------------------------| B:-------8--7--------8--7---|---------------------------| G:----9-----------9---------|---------------------------| D:-9-----------9------------|-------9--9--7-------------| A:--------------------------|--5/7------------10--9--7--| E:--------------------------|---------------------------| the background.
