Away in a Manger

Key of G · 3/4, "boom-strum-strum" · Chords: G C D · Words: anonymous, 1885 · Verses 2–3: same chords, from the hymnal

G 2 1 3 C 3 2 1 D 1 3 2
G                    C          G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
G                          D
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
    G                        C            G
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
    D           G      D             G
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
