How to play Deck The Halls: key, chords and progression

These are Deck The Halls chords by The Lumineers on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Deck The Halls by The Lumineers is in the key of F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 5 chords: C, Em, F, A/C# and Dm.

The backbone of the song is C – Em – F – A/C# (V – vii – I – III in F major). In solfa, that is soh – te – doh – mi. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
