How To Play O Christmas Tree On Ukulele

Fun fact: "O Christmas Tree" is the English version of the German Christmas carol “O Tannenbaum”. The oldest lyrics date back to 1550.

There are a variety of lyrics in both languages but the best-known was written by Ernst Anschutz in 1824. Its melody is an old folk tune which is quite popular back then.
