Intro: G C Am D D(F#)

(G)Amber called her (C)uncle, said "We're (Am)up here for the (D)holiday,
(G)Jane and I were (C)having solstice, (Am)now we need a (D)place to stay."
And (Em)her Christ-loving (C)uncle watched his (Am)wife hang Mary (D)on a tree,
He (Em)watched his son hang (C)candy canes all (Am)made with red dye (D)number three.
He (G)told his niece, "It's (C)Christmas eve, I (Am)know our life is (D)not your style,"
She said, (G)"Christmas is like (C)Solstice, and we (Am)miss you and it's (D)been awhile,"

So the (G)Christians and the (C)Pagans sat (Em)together at the (D)table,
(G)Finding faith and (C)common ground the (Em)best that they were (D)able, 
And (Em)just before the (C)meal was served, (Am)hands were held and (D)prayers were said,
(Em)Sending hope for (C)peace on earth to (Am)all their gods and (D)goddesses. (G)

The(G)food was great the(C)tree plugged in, the(Am)meal had gone(D)without a hitch,
Till(G)Timmy turned to(C)Amber and said,(Am)"Is it true that(D)you're a witch?"
(Em)His mom jumped up and(C)said, "The pies are(Am)burning," and she(D)hit the kitchen,
(Em)And it was Jane who(C)spoke, she said, "It's(Am)true, your cousin's(D)not a Christian,"
(G)"But we love trees,(C)we love the snow,(Am)the friends we have, the(D)world we share,
And (G) you find magic(C)from your God, and(Am)we find magic(D)everywhere."

So the (G)Christians and the (C)Pagans sat (Em)together at the (D)table,
(G)Finding faith and (C)common ground the (Em)best that they were (D)able, 
And(Em)where does magic(C)come from, I think(Am)magic's in the(D)learning,
(Em)Cause now when(C)Christians sit with(Am)Pagans only pumpkin pies are(D)burning.

When(G)Amber tried to(C)do the dishes, her(Am)aunt said, "Really, no,(D)don't bother."
Amber's(G)uncle saw how(C)Amber looked like(Am)Tim and like her(D)father.
He(Em)thought about his(C)brother, how they(Am)hadn't spoken in a(D)year,
He(Em)thought he'd call him(C)up and say, "It's(Am)Christmas and your(D)daughter's here."
He(G)thought of fathers,(C)sons and brothers,(Am)saw his own son tug his(D)sleeve, saying,
(G)"Can I be a(C)Pagan?"  Dad said, "(Am)We'll discuss it when they(D)leave,"

So the (G)Christians and the (C)Pagans sat (Em)together at the (D)table,
(G)Finding faith and (C)common ground the (Em)best that they were (D)able, 
(Em)Lighting trees in (C)darkness, learning (Am)new ways from the (D)old, and
(Em)Making sense of(C)history and drawing(Am)warmth out (D) of (Gish 
(bottom string high G) the (G) cold.
