Grown-Up Christmas List Chords
Grown-Up Christmas List by The Raveonettes is a more advanced guitar song played in the key of G. It uses the chords G, D/F#, Em, D, C, G/B, Am, Am7, E, C#m, A, B, G#m7, C#m7, Eb, Esus, F#7, Cmaj7, G#, D#, Fm, C#, Bbm, F, Dm, Bb and Dm7. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
Whew..this will go down in the record books as one of the hardest
songs ever to pick out! I tried to get it as close as possible
to the complex piano chords on the recording.
**Play with a capo on 4 to match album key**
