Back by popular demand, here are:

SimpleCarols Chord Charts.

SimpleCarols is a set of simple chord charts to 10 beloved Christmas carols, to add depth to the celebration of Advent and Christmas.

Here are some YouTube clips for some of the songs. The volume is a bit low, and I did the same progressions in lower keys, but the chords are the same:

All the words/verses to each carol are included, and the chord charts are in accessible keys that actually work – for small groups and band settings.

Most guitar players and bands bumble through Christmas hymns because they try to play them too fast – and they sound frantic in their chord changes and melodies. Take your time with the carols, and make the pacing work sweetly with the chords.

Hope these charts prove helpful to you. They’re a gift to you from the Institute.

SimpleCarols.
