MISC CHILDREN - I HAD A LITTLE NUT TREE CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

SONG: I Had a Little Nut Tree HISTORY: (Wikipedia) “The first recorded instance of the rhyme is in Newest Christmas Box, printed in London in 1797. James Orchard Halliwell suggested that it was much older and commemorated Juana of Castile who visited the court of Henry VII in 1506 but did not provide any additional evidence to support the theory.” VERSION: Chords based on the Mother Goose Club Playhouse version found at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muWfE5EsfcA [Chords] Dsus2/G 3x0230 Em 022000 A7 x02020 D xx0232 Dsus2 xx0230 [Intro] Dsus2/G Em7 A D [Verse 1]
