Away In A Manger Tin Whistle Notes

A Christmas Carol that's a favorite for children to sing and play. There's only one note that's different when playing the whole song through. It's in the 5th verse second line where the syllables don't quiet match but you'd get away with playing the same notes all the way through. This happens in almost every song as it's nearly impossible to write a song with the same amount of syllables in every word in every line. Also suitable for the recorder.
