The link to Piano Chords will also guide you through much of the information you can use to figure out any chord in seconds without having to memorize individual notes.Īs usual I have left out the melody as training your ear requires listening and picking out the melody for yourself! Just do it. If you are not sure of any of the chords you can find some help by visiting the lesson on Keyboard Chords and Jazz Piano Chords. I really like this song because the melody and the chords work well together and provide the opportunity to play with different harmonizations. Through the years we all will be together If the fates allow Hang a shining star upon the highest bough, And have yourself a merry little Christmas now Here we are as in olden days Happy golden days of yore, Faithful friends who are dear to us Gather near to us, once more, Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the Yuletide gay From now on your troubles Will be miles away,
Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light From now on your troubles Will be out of sight, I decided to include the Frank Sinatra version because, hey, Its Frank! The lyrics have been altered a bit as the song has been passed down and around to just about every recording artist from Frank Sinatra to Christina Aguilera. Until I started to research the song for this piano tutorial, I had never heard the Judy Garland version. The song Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was first published in 1943. The lyricist for Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was Ralph Blane and the haunting music was composed by Hugh Martin. The heart warming Christmas song Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was immortalized by Judy Garland when she sang this song to Margaret O'Brien in Meet Me in St Loius and brought tears to the eyes of the audience. It is one of my favorite seasonal songs and I hope this tutorial is helpful. This Christmas classic has some smooth changes and a great melody and holiday message.
