https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_in_Royal_David%27s_City
G D7 G C D7 G
Once in royal David s city,
Em D7 G
stood a lowly cattle shed
D7 G C G
Where a mother laid her Baby,
Em D7 G
in a manger for His bed
C G Am G
Mary was that mother mild,
C G D7 G
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
G D7 G C D7 G
He came down to earth from heaven,
Em D7 G
who is God and Lord of all
D7 G C G
And His shelter was a stable,
Em D7 G
and His cradle was a stall
C G Am G
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
C G D7 G
lived on earth our Savior holy.
G D7 G C D7 G
And, through all His wondrous childhood,
Em D7 G
he would honor and obey
D7 G C G
Love and watch the lowly maiden,
Em D7 G
in whose gentle arms He lay
C G Am G
Christian children all must be,
C G D7 G
mild, obedient, good as He.
G D7 G C D7 G
For He is our childhood's pattern;
Em D7 G
day by day, like us, He grew
D7 G C G
He was little, weak, and helpless,
Em D7 G
tears and smiles, like us He knew
C G Am G
And He cares when we are sad,
C G D7 G
and he shares when we are glad.
G D7 G C D7 G
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Em D7 G
through His own redeeming love
D7 G C G
For that Child so dear and gentle,
Em D7 G
is our Lord in heaven above
C G Am G
And He leads His children on,
C G D7 G
to the place where He is gone.

"With the poor, and mean, and lowly" should have meek, not mean.

Thanks so much! This is my favorite Christmas song.
I think the end of the third line should be:
D7 G C D7 G
where a mother laid her baby
