Adam's Year of Uke!

Adam's Year of Uke #10 Royal David's City

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.

    I 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.
