Happy Thanksgiving!
When I searched online for the lyrics and chords for this song, it was in the key of D Major. This is a very singable key, as the melody range is an octave plus one note.
This transcription of the single note melody is in first position of guitar fretboard. This melody also uses open string notes on first 4 strings (D, G, B, E), so key of D also makes it easier for beginner guitar players.
Best wishes to you and your family as we enter to enter the holiday season. I plan to include more holiday music for guitar on this site. If you have any holiday song requests, or if you have any questions or feedback on the music for “We Gather Together”, please add use the comment section below. Thanks!
