Verse 1
(D major) Okay, here's another holiday thing.
This song is called
Thanksgiving.
We're just moving back.
Back in time.
Lord, every year we gather (G major) here (G minor) (Asus4)
to eat around (D major) this table
(G minor) give us the strength to stom (D major) ach as much
(G major) as fast as we are able (D major)
(G major) bless this fool to (Gsus4) our (G major) use
though com (D major) munication's useless
(G major) don't let me drink (Gsus4) (G major) (D major)
Lord, you know how I get ruth (Asus4) less
Let (G major) (D major) us somehow get (G major)
through (G minor) this meal
(Asus4) Without that bad (D major) old feeling
With (G major) history and (D major) memory
(G major) And home cooking (D major) we're dealing
Remind (G major) us that we're
(Gsus4) all (G major) grown up
(D major) Adults no longer children
(G major) Now it's our kids
(Gsus4) that spill (G major) the milk
(D major) And our turn (G major) to wanna kill (Asus4) them (G major)
(D major) I look around (G major) an d recog (G minor) nize (G major)
A (Asus4) sister and a (D major) brother
We (G minor) rarely see our (G major) parent (D major) s now,
we (G major) hardly see each other.
(D major) On (G major) this auspicious occa (Gsus4) sion,
(G major) this (D major) special family dinner.
If (G major) I argue with a (Gsus4) loved (G major) one,
Lord, (D major) please make (G major) me the
win (Asus4) ner. (G major)
All (D major) this food looks and (G major) smells so (G minor) good
But (G major) I can hardly taste (D major) it
(G minor) The sense of something
has been (D major) lost
There's (G major) no way to replace it (D major)
Af (G major) ter the meal, switch (Gsus4) (G major) on the game,
(D major) it's just a few more seconds, but (G major) I'm so tired, I need
a nap. (D major)
The guest bedroom (G major) bed (Asus4) beck (G major) ons.
(D major) I fall asleep, (G major) I (G minor) have a dream, in (G major) it (Asus4) is the fam (D major) ily,
nothing (G minor) bad (G major) has happened (D major) yet an (G major) d everyone
is happy. (D major)
Mother (G major) and father, (Gsus4) both still young, (G major)
(D major) and naturally they love us.
We're (G major) all lying on a lawn at night,
watching (D major) the stars above (Asus4) us. (G major)
Lord, (D major) every year we gather (G minor) here
to (G major) eat around (D major) this table.
Give (G minor) us the strength to (D major) stomach
as much as (G major) fast as we are able.
