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