Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Chords & Guitar Lesson
Here is my Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas chord chart. This is one of my favorite Christmas songs particularly the Karen Carpenter version. I love old Christmas songs for the variety of chords they use. But, that variety can sometimes make them a little more challenging to play. If you do not know your 7 chords just yet, don't worry. When you see G7 you can play a regular G chord and it will work perfectly fine.
