Hi there and Happy Holidays:)
 
**READ NOTE**
 
Because there are different ways of singing this song I found a link to the version
of the song that I know and how I tabbed it. It's Ann Murray singing- and other
than a key change she does just for 2 verses in the middle - to be fancy I guess;) it's
the same.  It will give those who think this tab is worth a 1 star rating a heads up -
 
"Hey! This is tabbed to THIS version of "Away in A Manger" and it's good, lol!

  G6 [x55430] - a regular G can be played [320033] but I just like this subtle change.
Am/D [xx0210]
 
Standard Tuning w/
Capo on 3         (Because I know you didn't read it - take 30 secs and
                    read the note above if you think this tab is wrong.)
 
 
 
 G                   G6         Am
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
    D           G          Am   Am7 C     D
The little Lord Jesus, lay down His sweet head
 
 
    G                               G6            Am
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where He lay
    D           G       Am    Am7 Am/D G
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on  the  hay
 
 
    G                      G6        Am
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes
    D           G         Am Am7 C  D
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
 
 
  G                           G6            Am
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
    D          G            Am  Am7 Am/D G
And stay by my cradle, 'til morning is   nigh
 
 
   G                      G6          Am
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
      D        G         Am   Am7 C D
Close by me forever, and love me  I pray
 
 
      G                         G6         Am
Bless all the dear children, in Thy tender care
    D          G          Am   Am7  Am/D G
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there
 
 
 
Have fun!
Happy Holidays!

The G* is exactly the same as normal G.

Ahhh haha, I didn't mean to post this (I guess it did it automatically when I rated). I just don't know their version and it doesn't sync up with the version that I know. That's why I rated it poorly.
