Reunion Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Where we all go
[C]summer [Em]1971?[G]
From Chicago [D]to Toronto
For a family re[G]union
The dad at the wheel,
driving [C]five hours of the [G]clip
Swimming in [D]the afternoons,
another [G]motel 6
First stop in town was my [C]grandmother's bakery

[Verse 2]
[G]
She stood there and [D]welcomed us,
the American celebrities
[G]I saw her photo on the wall,
I thought [C]she was the famous [G]one
Then my [D]uncles and her gave
us all the cookies we [G]want

[Verse 3]
Here we [D]are together
Our father's [G]gone
Here [D]we are together
[C]40 years on[G]
Here we [Em]are together
Just [C]daughters and sons
This is our [D]reunion
This is our re[G]union

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][D][G]
[C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
[Em]Later in an old fancy [C]restaurant
she wore the [G]crown[D]
[G]Surrou[D]nded by all her kin
Looking probably around
[G]I watched m[Em]y dad with his brothe[C]rs
with their great green [G]eyes
And their handsome [D]faces with
dark shadows be[G]hind

[Verse 5]
All the [G]things my dad [C]loved
his brothers [Em]gave a [G]hand
Not the mad [D]aches in
Oprah, Gilbert and Sullivan
[G]I used to bel[C]ieve he was
the lucky [Em]one[G][D][G]
The [D]one who got away
The mysterious prodigal [G]son
At that [D]family [C]reunion, [G]1971
And here we [D]are

[Verse 6]
together
Our father's [G]gone
Here we [D]are together
[C]40 years on[G][D]
Here we [Em]are together
Just daughters and [C]sons
This is our re[D]union
This is our re[Em]union
This is [G]our re[D]union
This is our reunion
[G]
