I was helping my daughter sing this song and realized that the opening line is completely chromatic. Wow.

Last weird song thought for the year, I promise...

Melody starts with a nice little arpeggio.

Again,I'm just basing my opinion on the parts I remember,wouldn't you say that it's just a major scale with the addition of a b3 and a b5 in the chromatic part?
Peace,

The opening line is:

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas:
A A# A G# A A# B C

Just like the ones I used to know:
D E F G F E D C

I'm not sure what key but in Am or C those would be the notes.
