Biography:
Josh Garrels (born Joshua Michael Garrels on September 25, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter.
Garrels has been a lot of things: son of a hippie commune, skater boy,
suburban drug dealer, music/design student, coffee roaster, urban shepherd, and now nation- and globe-trotting minstrel of hope and healing.
He is also a beacon of light in a marketplace rife with artists who, whether wanting to acquire fame or just their next meals, have sold

Song: "The Boar's Head"
Album: "The Light Came Down"
Artist: Josh Garrels
Tab interpreter: David Codington
[NOTE]
Several lines of this song are written and thus sung in Latin. This translation is not mine;
I found it at http://genius.com/Josh-garrels-the-boars-head-lyrics.
ALSO, note that the words to this song are the words of a macaronic 15th century English
Christmas carol. The boar's head, as I understand, was a delicacy at the old English Yuletide
feast. Check out more history here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boar%27s_Head_Carol.
ALSO, if you play with a piano the first eight notes (NOT chords) of the song, they follow
the succession of C/B/A/G/F/E/D/C down one octave. Overlapping these notes of melody are the chords.
I have listed the chords (as they are in the song, to the best of my ability) below.
Because the chords here are overlapping the sing-song melody of C/B/A/G/F/E/D/C, they don't sound
absolutely accurate as written below. Whether or not what I've written is accurate is up for you to
judge, though this seems to me like a decent place to start.

[TRANSLATION]
The boar's head in hand bear I
Bedecked with bays and rosemary
And I pray you my masters be merry
As many as are at the feast
I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD
The boar's head as I understand
Is the rarest dish in all the land
When thus bedecked with a gay garland
Let us serve it with a song
I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD
Our steward hath provided this
In honor of the King of bliss
Which on this day to be served is
In the hall of Queen's (College, Oxford)
I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD.
I bring in the boar's head,
Giving thanks to the LORD

I cannot say what good fun it was to listen to this song for the first time,
playing it over and over again, listening carefully for the chords. Josh Garrels
