We Wish You a Merry Christmas chords
A West Country carol from the days when singers went door to door asking for figgy pudding. Each line moves to a new chord, so it is a good workout for quick changes.

How to play it
You need 6 chords: G, C, A7, D, B7 and Em. The change you'll make most is C to G, so practice switching between those two slowly before playing along.
Each box is one bar of 3/4 time. Strum the chord on the beat, and change when the next box starts. A slash means keep playing the same chord.
