Greensleeves is a very old song, that you can play for Christmas with Schiller's words "What Child Is This", or all year round, especially if you feel like ice-cream...
What Child Is This / Greensleeves Sheet music.
This is a nice reading piece, that you can also arrange in your own ways; play the chords and sing, play it much slower and use different octaves on the keyboard, play the melody from reading and the chords in the LH. You can even arrange those LH chords, playing just the bass note, or broken up or try the 1 5 1 (2 3) LH.
Here are two PianoEasy YouTube Tutorials for you:
Enjoy!
All those old songs are in the Public Domain; you can do with them whatever you want, and I can teach them with whatever resources I come up with.
Many much loved Christmas Carols are more recent, or come from movies. They are not in the Public Domain, but you can find them with lyrics and chords on apps like Ultimate Guitar that PianoEasy players have heard me recommend many times.
You know what to do with them!
I can send you links to them:
