Here Comes Santa Claus Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Here Comes Santa Claus guitar lesson by Elvis Presley. Elvis does this song in the key of D so we will be using a lot of those chords along with some 7 chords. All in all, this song uses 9 chords, but remember, if you aren’t great with 7 chords, you could always play the ‘normal’ chord. For example, Em7 could be played as Em and A7 could be played as A.
Let’s take a look below.
