Oh Christmas Tree (O Tannenbaum) Guitar Cover
60Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
This is the very well known christmas song "Oh Christmas Tree" (O Tannenbaum). It first became a christmas song in Germany in 1824, but the melody dates back to the 16th century. I wanted to arrange it in Neil Zaza's style, but I discovered he has his own, very different version. I wrote a solo for the middle part, normally, I don't do that.
Sing along (English):
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
They are green when summer days are bright,
They are green when winter snow is white.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree,
Your branches green delight us!
(Solo)
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Reminding me on Christmas Day
To think of you and then be gay.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
You fill my heart with music.
Sing mit (Deutsches Original)!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein, auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Wie treu sind deine Blätter!
(Solo)
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Mut und Kraft zu jeder Zeit!
O Tannenbaum, o Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren!
