Lucy Kaplansky - Reunion


INTRO: G+G C majorC G+G  D MajorD G+G

            C majorC        G+G
Away we all go, summer nineteen-seventy-one
         D MajorD              G+G
From Chicago to Toronto, for a family reunion
               C majorC        G+G
My dad at the wheel, driving five hours at a clip
        D MajorD              G+G
Swimming in the afternoons at another Motel 6


             C majorC          G+G
First stop in town was my grandmother?s bakery
          D MajorD                   G+G
She stood there and welcomed us, the American celebrities
                C majorC             G+G
I saw her photo on the wall, I thought she was the famous one
    D MajorD                     G+G
Then my uncles and her gave us all the cookies we want

CHORUS:
    D MajorD
Here we are together
  C majorC    G+G
Our father?s gone
    D MajorD
Here we are together
C majorC      G+G
Forty years on
    E minorEm
Here we are together
          C majorC
Just daughters and sons
       D MajorD
This is our reunion
       G+G
This is our reunion


INTERLUDE: C majorC G+G D MajorD G+G  D MajorD G+G

E minorEm          C majorC            G+G
Later in an old fancy restaurant, she wore the crown
       D MajorD               G+G
Surrounded by all her kin, looking proudly around
       E minorEm      C majorC                G+G
I watched my dad with his brothers, with their grey-green eyes
          D MajorD             G+G
And their handsome faces, with dark shadows behind

           C majorC              G+G
All the things my dad loved, his brothers gave to him
        D MajorD              G+G
Mathematics and opera, and Gilbert and Sullivan
           C majorC         G+G
Oh, I used to believe he was the lucky one
         D MajorD              G+G
The one who got away, the mysterious prodigal son
         D MajorD        C majorC    G+G
At that family reunion, nineteen-seventy-one


CHORUS:
      D MajorD
And here we are together
  C majorC    G+G
Our father?s gone
    D MajorD
Here we are together
C majorC      G+G
Forty years on
    E minorEm
Here we are together
          C majorC
Just daughters and sons
       D MajorD
This is our reunion
       E minorEm
This is our reunion
       D MajorD
This is our reunion
       G+G
This is our reunion
