I already posted this in the recordings forum but... I know some people were looking for tabs for christmas wrapping by the waitresses. There are none, so i have a vid of me playing it and its real easy to see. So i hope it helps some people out. Sorry again for the repost...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJYhi8Az1ao

Nice job!

As additional help, whilst there may be no tab, I did start to transcribe this as part of a chart for my 10 piece band. The chart never got finished, but here's what I did of the guide bass part just in case it might be useful to anyone learning this great tune. It's not exact but it will get you started.

I'm definitely going to finish the chart for this so that we can play it next holiday season, too late for this year now.

Hey. I know it may be a little late in the year for this to be of use now, but I've had a go at tabbing the song. It's on ttabs and also here Christmas Wrapping bass tab by The Waitresses @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com on Ultimate Guitar. Not perfect, but hopefully it'll be of some help.
