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