Please can someone tell me which cords this particular version of the little drummer boy is played in? I haven't developed a good enough ear for cords yet :-(

If anyone could give me the cords for the first verse I would be very greaetful.

Thanks for any help,
-Sik

Can you hear when the chords change?
It's in the key of D and uses the chords D G & A (or A7 for a bit of extra Xmas spice in places)

The intro is D

The verse starts in D for two lines followed by two lines of A then G D A
Last line is D ending the verse on A (briefly) then D.

It's not a great explanation but whenever you hear a chord change, it's one of those.

Half way through there's an abrupt key change to F all the way to the end - so D becomes F, G becomes Bb and A becomes C in the new key.
