		A stripped down easy to play and easy to sing with Blue Christmas, just the way Elvis liked it. Actually, Elvis's key is E but I think some of the chords play better in F key. So that's how I did it. If you are a purist, it's easy enough to transpose. Enjoy! Blue Christmas (Elvis Version) - Jay Johnson/Billy Hayes

		When you choose to write an iRp chart over multiple pages
add p1, p2, etc. to the title.
eg. Blue Christmas (Celine Dion)p1 - Billy Hayes-Jay W. Johns
and Blue Christmas (Celine Dion)p2 - Billy Hayes-Jay W. Johns
In iRp, a song version is indicated by adding the info to the song title enclosed in parentheses “()”.
Presenting a consistent format and style is important. It improves the user experience and reduces confusion when attempting to convey information.
The iReal pro forums has (for the most part) developed and maintains a consistent look and feel despite of thousands of different contributors. To accomplish that requires everyone's cooperation.
Thank you for sharing your charts.
Please correct your chart(s) and add them to this thread.

		This Celine Dion version of the song begins in the key of Db (page 1.),
and then tranposes up a a half step to the key of D (page 2.).
