[D]"Why do we have Christmas

He's a [G]gift more precious than

Helping [G]out in the kitchen catching

[A]And when the din

[Verse 5]
[D]ner bell rang
we [G]all took our places
Grand[D]pa said,
"Who wants to say [G]grace?"
But before [A]anyone else
could ut[D]ter a word
Oh, the [G]little one bowed her head
and she [A]started [Asus4]to say[A][Asus4]
[A]On this
