Please Come Home For Christmas Chords & Guitar Lesson

Welcome to my Please Come Home For Christmas guitar lessons with guitar chords. This is a very popular Christmas tune and this lesson focuses on the version done by The Eagles.

This song is in 6/8 time, meaning we will be counting to 6. There are a couple barre chords that pop in so I would say this song is a bit more in the intermediate realm.
