Elton John Step Into Christmas (ver 4) chords

Step Into Christmas (ver 4) by Elton John

Song: Step into Christmas
Artist: Elton John
Lyrics: Bernie Taupin

The other versions on here have way too many errors and are not complete.
This is tabbed to the record. Not sure if its entirely accurate but its good enough for me.
This is a fairly easy version of how I play it - only 1 barre chord and a nice beginner riff to learn.
I've added a couple of add-ons at the very end which can definitely be heard on the record aren't essential.
I welcome any improvements/highlighting of errors.
Contact me on Twitter if you have any requests.

+++++++++++++++++
++   ADD-ONS   ++
+++++++++++++++++
Some nice add-ons here 1 and 2 are fairly easy unless a beginner.
These sound great and the first 2 should be in the tab above really.
For each of these please give the record a listen while you follow and it will all make sense.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



1. At the end of each verse you can do the following:

 Em                          A       Asus4 A
Stepping into Christmas with me




2. Similarly for each A to Am transition in the verses you can play A to Asus4 quickly to Am.




3. I never play this but you can try it if you're fast enough or get a second guitar to play
   this - basically during the verses, the D chord at the end of the 2nd and 4th lines you can
   play this riff TWICE right after a down strum of the said D chord

e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|--------------------|
D|--3--2--0--------0--|  x 2 after 2nd and 4th D chords in verse. 
A|-----------0--2-----|
E|--------------------|
