“Come Thou Long Expected Jesus” by Shane & Shane is a modern arrangement of the classic Christmas hymn centered on the hope and coming of Christ, and this Come Thou Long Expected Jesus chord chart gives guitar players a simple way to lead it in a Christmas worship setting. The song carries a reflective and reverent atmosphere that works especially well during Advent services, candlelight gatherings, or quieter congregational worship moments.
The arrangement blends the depth of the traditional hymn with a modern acoustic worship feel. The progression is straightforward and easy to follow, making it approachable for acoustic guitar, piano, or a full band. Because of the slower pacing and lyrical focus, the emphasis stays on supporting the melody and creating space for worship rather than technical playing.
This chart is available in the key of C, along with a Nashville Numbers version for easy transposing.
