Intro: G  C G   D  G   

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


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


Chorus: 
        D 
Here we are together 
    C        G 
Our fatherâ??s gone 
        D 
Here we are together 
C           G 
Forty years on 
        Em 
Here we are together 
                   C 
Just daughters and sons 
              D 
This is our reunion 
              G 
This is our reunion 


INTERLUDE: C  G  D  G    D  G   

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


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


Chorus: 
            D 
And here we are together 
    C        G 
Our fatherâ??s gone 
        D 
Here we are together 
C           G 
Forty years on 
        Em 
Here we are together 
                   C 
Just daughters and sons 
              D 
This is our reunion 
              Em 
This is our reunion 
              D 
This is our reunion 
              G 
This is our reunion
