[Verse 1]
Em/B        Am        C          G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed                  
D           Am       G/D           G
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
      Em/B               Am         C      G
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
        D          G     Am          G
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
       D           Am      G/D        G
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes
       Em/B       Am          C           G
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
       D        G       Am            G
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
