A Holly Jolly Christmas Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my A Holly Jolly Christmas chord chart. Another Christmas classic that I grew up listening to. This one has some pretty simple chords as well making it nice and easier for beginners to play.

A Holly Jolly Christmas Chords:

If you see 7 chords (D7, G7) and don’t know what those are, don’t worry. You can easily play the regular D and G chords and do just fine.

There is an F chord the comes in on the bridge, but again, if you are a beginner, you can play an Fmaj7 chord instead of trying to attempt a difficult barre chord.
