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