By request this is the ukulele play-along on standard ukulele of the song written by Woody Guthrie about Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, in 1954. I also made a brief history video of how Woody Guthrie came to write this song about Fred Trump and also a quick discussion video where I responded to some of the questions that came up in the original “Old Man Trump” Story video. No complicated theory—just four easy chords in this song, so grab your uke and play along!
- Chords used: G, C, A7, & D
- Strumming pattern: The folk or “island” strum works great on this song, which is down-down-up up-down-up
- Tempo: Moderate, great for beginners
