This tab is a direct adaptation of the LDS children's songbook version of Away In A Manger. It has the iconic chorus "asleep asleep asleep". I find that standard tuning with a capo on 2nd fret is closest to the original melody.Was this info helpful?

Difficulty:	beginner
Tuning:	E A D G B E
Capo:	2nd fret

[Intro]
C G7 C F C G7 C
 
[Verse 1]
  C                  G7           C
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
    G7          C                         G7
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
    C                           G7            C
The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,
    F           C      G7            C
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
 
[Chorus]
  G7      C       G7               C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Savior in a stall!
(2nd voice) Asleep, asleep,
  G7      C       G7                C                  F  C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord of all.

[Verse 2]
    C                      G7        C
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes;
    G7          C                   G7
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
  C                           G7            C
I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
    F          C      G7              C
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
 
[Chorus]
  G7      C       G7               C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Savior in a stall!
(2nd voice) Asleep, asleep,
  G7      C       G7                C                  F  C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord of all.
(2nd voice) asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord, the Lord of all.
 
[Verse 3]
   C                      G7          C
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
      G7       C                    G7
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
      C                        G7         C
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
    F          C          G7             C
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
 
[Chorus]
  G7      C       G7               C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Savior in a stall!
(2nd voice) Asleep, asleep,
  G7      C       G7                C                  F  C
Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord of all.
(2nd voice) asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord, the Lord of all.
