Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Traditional

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas – Traditional Chords Used:

OR

Fingerstyle Guide: Following are all of the chords found in the song as well as an easy way to pick each one out. You will ONLY be using your thumb, 1st, and 2nd fingers for any of the chords found in this song. The thumb will need to take care of the lowest note. Your 1st finger needs to play the mid-range note, and the 2nd finger will play the high-range note. In other words, the 2nd finger will either be playing ONLY the High E string and/or the B string in almost every instance. By forming the letter “C” with your picking hand, with your thumb closest to your face, your 1st and 2nd fingers can act as though they are ‘stuck’ together at around the knuckle. The tab is very easy in the way I’ve provided it, but feel free to add more to it if you’d like.

Final Note: The tab you see above is NOT meant to be correct in terms of note value. Instead, the full chord is displayed and THEN picked out. Basically omit the actual full chord. It is just a legend to show you which chord this is.
