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