[Verse]
F# B F# B
Cal made a long table for his bride, June
C#
When the first child was born and they needed more room
B F# C# F#
Cal was one of four sons, there was too little farm
B F# C#
And the railroad had work, so they move into town
[Verse]
F# B F# B
First came Emmet and Clara, William and Grace
C#
Around the long table, they all took their place
B F# C# F#
Every year they would gather, sing carols and hymns
B F# C#
With canned peaches and shortcake and four wide grins
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F B F#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
D#m C#/F B C#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
B F# C# F#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
B F# C# F# B F# B
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Eating strawberry jam from our Victory Garden
C#
June kept giving Emmet more food than he wanted
B F# C# F#
As if she could fill him with enough food and faith
B F# C#
To last him through Europe and bring him home safe
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Clara moved back at Christmas with her two children
C#
When her husband ran off with a girl who was willing
B F# C# F#
When Grace's small daughter offered up her shortcake
B F# C#
Clara leaned on Will's shoulder and covered her face
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F B F#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
D#m C#/F B C#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
B F# C# F#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
B F# C# F# B F# B
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Long ago Emmet came home, now he carves the ham
C#
Though since then he's needed a leg brace to stand
B F# C# F#
He and Grace visit often, help mom with yard work
B F# C#
Who still can't believe what they are wearing to church
[Verse]
F# B F# B
Cousin Ann's in Chicago and she stays good friends
C#
With cousin Will, who's a painter, lives in South Bend
B F# C# F#
And William's boy, Michael, is a young handsome rogue
B F# C#
Cruising town with an eight track of Abby Road
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F B F#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
D#m C#/F B C#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
B F# C# F#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
B F# C# F# B F# B
All is calm and all is bright
[Verse]
F# B F# B
There's been so many joys, so many cradles
C#
But there was one who spent only one year at the table
B F# C# F#
It must have been grandma who gathered her close
B F# C#
So she'd have no fear when they both passed across
[Verse]
F# B F# B
So put out the canned peaches in honour of June
C#
And for Michael's grown daughter, who's coming home soon
B F# C# F#
For all that we've lost or we haven't found yet
B F# C#
All who come to the table and clasp hands around
[Chorus]
D#m C#/F B F#
But it feels like it's been one long Christmas dinner
D#m C#/F B C#
One unending prayer, one unbroken line
B F# C# F#
Singing, “Be Thou My Vision”, by day or by night
B F# C# F# B F# B
All is calm and all is bright
F# C# F# B F# B F#
All is calm and all is bright
