Away In a Manger

Misc. Christmas

words; Traditional, melody; William James Kirkpatrick (1838-1921)
A lullaby waltz in gentle 3/4 time

 DGD
A-way in a manger, no crib for a bed
 A7GD
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
 DGD
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
 A7DEmA7D
The little Lord Jesus a-sleep on the hay
. . .
 DGD
The cattle are lowing, the Baby a-wakes;
 A7GD
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
 DGD
love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky;
 A7DEmA7D
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.
. . .
 DGD
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,
 A7GD
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
 DGD
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
 A7DEmA7D
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.

The G chord in every last line of the verses needs to be a D chord and it also plays better I believe capo 3.
