Today I have a very easy song to share with you. It uses only two chords, it’s really short, and it has very simple lyrics. I’ll show you how to play it in two different keys, and then I’ll show you how to turn this into a holiday song so you can sing about your own family traditions.
First, let’s play I’ve Got the Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Heart in the keys of C and F. Try singing along as you strum— which key is a better fit for your vocal range? Then play along with me as I show you how we can use the same melody and chords to play a holiday version of the song! In My Family's House is a great song to sing and strum with others—especially kids—and you all can take turns creating verses that honor your family's holiday traditions.
Which traditions will you sing about? Let me know in the comments!
