Hey everyone,
This is a great Christmas song by Leon Thomas III and Vali. The song has three
main parts: Intro/Verse Chorus and Bridge Section and is in the key of A minor. In
the video I saw, Leon plays the intro/verse section with fingerpicking and the
rest is regular strumming.
Intro/Verse Section (Remember this section is picked with you fingers. It may be
difficult at first but you will get it with practice.)

We dont need coats or snow

We still got Christmas lights
When it s warm outside, I ll still hold you tight and you know
or
I ll never let you go
Whether it s palm trees or mistletoe
