We made it to number 10! Here is one of my favorite carols. We started playing this in church years ago and there are a few versions of us singing online. The problem is that apparently I have trouble carrying this tune. They are good memories still, and I can't wait to mess it up again in church some time! Here are the lyrics and chords... Once In Royal David s City chords H. Gauntlett / C. Alexander 1849 G C D7 G Once in royal David s city, Em D7 G Stood a lowly cattle shed D G C DG 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 D G Jesus Christ, her little Child. G C D7 G He came down to earth from heaven, Em D7 G who is God and Lord of all D G C DG 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 D G lived on earth our Savior holy. G C D7 G For He is our childhood's pattern; Em D7 G day by day, like us, He grew D G C D G He was little, weak, and helpless, Em D7 G tears and smiles, like us He knew C G Am* G And He careth for our sadness C G D G and he shareth in our gladness G C D7 G And our eyes at last shall see Him, Em D7 G through His own redeeming love D G C D 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 D G to the place where He is gone.

AuthorI play a number of musical instruments. In addition to the ukulele I play the mandolin, guitar, rhythm bones, and a few other things. This page, though, is about my uke project. I recently decided to post once a week on a uke-themed topic. Most of these posts will be simple songs you can sing along to. Maybe later I will do more informational videos as well. Archives
