Away In A Manger

	  		(CD  A Brad Paisley Christmas) 

Intro: G-C-G-D7-G 

  G                   C          G 
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 
     D7                     G 
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; 
                             C             G 
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay; 
     C           G        D7          G 
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 

     G                      C         G 
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes. 
     D7                    G 
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; 
                                C             G 
I love Thee, Lord Jesus!  Look down from the sky, 
     C          G           D7         G 
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh 


(Instrumental: Same Chords as the Verse) 

    G                      C           G 
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay 
      D7                  G 
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray 
                                C          G 
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care 
     C            G        D7             G  
And take us for Heaven to live with Thee there. 


(Instrumental: Same As Intro.) 

  G                   C          G 
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 
     D7                     G 
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; 
                             C             G 
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay; 
     C           G        D7          G 
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 

     C           G       D7           G 
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
