Jingle Bells: kalimba tabs
Written by James Lord Pierpont and published in 1857. The chorus is one of the best known melodies in the world. It only uses the notes 1 to 5, so it also works on an 8-key kalimba.

How to play it
Most of the chorus is the same note 3 repeated. Play repeated notes with the same thumb and keep them light, so the tine keeps ringing.
No kalimba yet? Every 17-key kalimba in the shop plays this song.
