Guitar Chords for Deck The Halls
The changes in this carol will be relatively easy as you’ll have plenty of time to make them. D to Bm can be played by preparing to barre the 2nd frets from the G-B-E strings to all the strings except the low E string. The quick changes for D to A to D can be played with incomplete chords, just playing the top three strings G-B-E.
