The Twelve Days of Christmas - Chords, Lyrics and OriginsOriginsThe Tweleve Days of Christmas is an English Christmas Carol that probably has its origins in a French New Years' or spring carol. The words were first published in England in 1780. There is a theory that the carol was intended to teach young English catholics their catechism (see this article for details). However, whilst an imaginative idea, their seems to be no historical evidence for this. When you play the Twelve Days of Christmas, listen out for the A7 chord in the 'Five Golden Rings' line - it makes the song. ChordsG Em G
