Able the Able
Dm 
G 
the Table was a popular guy
C 
Dm 
People gathered round him
G 
when they stopped on by
C 
Dm 
The middle of the kitchen
G 
was his favorite place
C 
Every once in a while
Dm 
he'd shine up his face
C 
G 
C 
Everybody gathered round Able
G 
C 
Able was a kitchen table
G 
This is where he stood,
C 
Dm 
and he was more than just a
G 
Dm 
G 
C 
Dm 
piece of artwork
G 
C 
Dm 
He loved silver candlesticks,
G 
C 
he felt like a winner
Dm 
When they dressed him all up
G 
C 
for those fancy dinners
Dm 
He'd hold a pot of tea,
G 
C 
and maybe some letters
Dm 
G 
C 
Abel kept busy, he never felt better
G 
C 
Everybody gathered round Abel
G

C 
Cm 
Even though he was popular
And ever so humble
Gm 
He couldn't understand
While they started to grumble
Cm 
Abel, table, you're not big enough
Gm 
There's not enough room
for all of our stuff
F 
The coppers did chuckle
and the counters did laugh
Gm 
When somebody said,
G 
let's just saw him in half
C 
Dm 
G 
C 
Two men came by on that very same day
Dm 
And they picked Abel up
and they hauled him away
C 
Dm 
And right away the kitchen
G 
didn't seem the same
C 
And Abel found himself
Dm 
in a place
G 
that was quite strange
C 
G 
He said, wait a minute,
C 
there's gotta be a law
G 
And his four legs did shake
C 
as they pulled out the saw.
G 
And he heard a voice say,
C 
this might hurt a little.
G 
They proceeded to saw him
C 
straight down the middle.
G 
C 
Everybody talked about Abel.
G 
C 
Abel was a kitchen table.
G 
This is where he stood.
C 
Dm 
And he was more than just a
G 
C 
Dm 
G 
C 
Dm 
G 
piece of wood.
C 
Then they did something
Dm 
G 
that Abel couldn't quite figure,
C 
because when he stood back up,
Dm 
G 
he was two feet bigger.
C 
Dm 
And right away, he was back
G 
in the center of attention,
C 
right where he belonged,
Dm 
G 
in the middle of the kitchen.
C 
Dm 
And they dressed him up royally
G 
every morning and every night.
C 
Dm 
And there Abel stood
G 
C 
with a new leap on life.
G 
C 
G 
C 
Everybody gathered round Abel.
G 
This is where he stood
C 
Dm 
And he was more than just
G 
Dm 
C 
a piece of wood
Dm 
G 
Hey, let's have some dinner
C 
How about a snack?
Dm 
C 
Dm 
G 
C 
Wanna play some cards?
