Learn how to play Matt Terry When Christmas Comes Around (written by Ed Sheeran) on the guitar with my full guitar lesson/chord video. This lesson is taught with the capo placed at the 3rd fret and uses the chords from G family (learn more about this in my ebooks).

Em D
Winter days, turn to grey, put the headlights on…
Snow and rain, wiped away, I can’t keep my eyes on the road
When I’m driving home,
I got tears, running down
Burning in my eyes and you and I
Heated by the flicker of a lighter
Oh, and I let it go
Pre chorus
C G – D – Em D -C – D
But I just got here
I know it’s been a while darling, dear
There’s been a change in the time of year
When the frost bites the snow
And Christmas comes around
Chorus
G – D – C – Em D
G – D – C – Em D G..
For the down and outs
And broken lay-abouts
What will they do now?
When Christmas comes around
We were so in love
Till I messed it up
But who will love me now
When Christmas comes around
