Ukulele Christmas Song 2 - O Christmas Tree

The next song we're gonna look at is Oh Christmas Tree, same chords, but we're gonna be strumming a little bit more in this one to keep it interesting. So here we are with the C chord again, and the melody will go. Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches. But the strumming pattern we're gonna be going for is 3 times, uh, so 3 strums for every, uh, chord that is written, so 3 times in every bar. Like this. Oh, Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree. lovely Your branches. That is basically what happens throughout the entire song, just two chords, couple of little things that we can look at as we go through, but that's the gist of it, OK. So join in with me straight away. I think this is something that you will be able to do. If you can't get it your first time, just have a couple of goes with it, and I am very confident you'll be doing this in no time at all. From that C chord, let's strum with the first finger this time. So two bars of the C, G, and back to C. In. 120 Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches. Christmas tree. Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches. The next couple of lines, just mix this up a little bit, we go to the G chord earlier, but it's still just those two chords. So this goes. Green when Days are bright. They're green when winter snow is white. That's exactly the same as the first line was. Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree, how lovely are your branches. Again, if you're a little bit more advanced, we can look at that G7 every time you see that G chord written in this song. It's just a little bit closer to the melody and also on that last line, we can actually play the E major chord which is really easy, we've just got 12 like this. So this will go oh Christmas tree. Christmas tree. A lovely I just to make it a little bit more interesting for you guys that have been playing a little bit more often. So I'm gonna demo the full song now with those uh extra chords in it, but you choose which version you want to go for. Oh Christmas tree. Christmas tree. lovely branches, or Christmas trees. Lovely branches. Green when Summer days are bright. Christmas tree. lovely.
