[C]
[Bbm] [Eb]
[Ab] Amber called her [Db] uncle, said [Bb] we're up here for the [Eb]
holiday
[Ab] Jane and I were [Db] having solstice, [Bbm] now we need [Eb] a place to stay
[Ab] And her Christ [Db]-loving uncle watched [Bbm] his wife hang Mary [Eb] on a tree
[F] He watched his son [Db] hang candy canes, [Bb] all made with red [Eb] dye number three
[Ab] He told his niece [Db] it's Christmas Eve, [Bb] I know our life [Eb] is not just style
[Ab] She said Christmas is [Db] like solstice, and [Bbm] we miss you, [Eb] and it's been a while
[Ab] So the Christians [Db] and the pagans sat [Ab] together [Eb] at the [Ab] table
Finding faith and common ground, the best that [Eb] they were [Fm] able
Just [Db] before the meal was [Bbm] served, hands were held and prayers were [Fm] said
Sending [Db] hope for peace on [Bb] earth to all their [Eb] gods and [Ab] goddesses
The food was great, the [Db] tree plugged in, the [Bbm] meal had gone [Eb] without a hitch
[Ab] Till Timmy turned to [Db] Amber and [Bb] said, is it true that [Eb] you're a witch?
[Ab] His mom jumped up [Db] and said, the pies [Fm] are burning
And she [Eb] hit the kitchen, [Fm] and it was Jane [Db] who spoke
She said [Bb] it's true, your [Eb] cousin's not a Christian
[Ab] But we love trees, [Db] we love the snow, [Bbm] the friends we have, [Eb] the world we share
[Ab] And you find [Db] magic from your god, [Bbm] and we find [Eb] magic everywhere
So [Ab] the Christians [Db] and the pagans sat [Ab] together [Eb] at the table
[Ab] Finding [Db] faith and common [Fm] ground, the best that [Eb] they were able
[Fm] Now where does [Db] magic come from?
[Bbm] I think magic's [Eb] in the learning
Cause [Fm] now when Christians [Db] sit with pagans, [Bb] only pumpkin [Eb] pies are burning
When Amber tried to [Db] do the dishes, her [Bb] aunt said, really [Eb] no, don't bother
[Ab] Amber's uncle [Db] saw how Amber [Bb] looked like Tim and [Eb] like the father
They [Ab] thought about [Db] his brother, how [Bb] they hadn't spoken [Eb] in a year
[Fm] They thought he'd call [Db] him up and say [Bb] it's Christmas and [Eb] your daughter's here
[Ab] They thought of father, [Db] sons and [Bb] brothers, saw his own [Eb] son tug his sleeve
[Ab] [Db] [Bb]
[Eb] So [Ab] the Christians and [Db] the pagans sat [Fm] together at [Eb] the table
[Ab] Finding [Db] faith and common [Ab] ground, the best that [Eb] they were able
[Fm] Lighting [Db] trees in darkness, [Bb] learning new ways [Eb] from the old
[Fm] And making [Db] sense of history, [Bb] and drawing [Eb] warmth out of the cold
[Ab] [Bbm] [Eb]
