Away in a Manger
Key of D (I prefer 2 frets higher)
[Verse]
D -- D -- G -- D -- Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
A7 -- A7 -- G -- D -- The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
D -- D -- G -- D -- The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
G -- D -- A7 -- D -- D -- The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
[Verse]
D -- D -- G -- D -- The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
A7 -- A7 -- G -- D -- But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
D -- D -- G -- D -- I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
G -- D -- A7 -- D -- D -- And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
[Verse]
D -- D -- G -- D -- Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
A7 -- A7 -- G -- D -- Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
D -- D -- G -- D -- Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
G -- D -- A7 -- D -- D -- And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
