Chorus
Let the (G)circle be (D)wide 'round the (G)fireside
And we'll (C)soon make (Am)room for (G)you
Let your (C)heart have no (Am)fear, there are (G)no strangers (Em)here,
Just (G)friends that you (D7)never (G)knew
We will (G)travel a(D)long on the (C)wings of a (G)song
With a (C)mind that' is (Em)open and (C)free
If we close our (Am)eyes to the (C)other (G)side
We're just (C)half of (G)what we could (D)be
Chorus
Shake the (G)hand of the (D)man from the (C)far distant (G)land
(C)Meet him and (Em)treat him (C)well
And the young girl so (Am)fair with the (C)wind in her (G)hair,
(C)She's got a (G)story to (D)tell
Chorus
There are (G)songs to be (D)sung, there are (C)rafters to be (G)rung,
There is (C)reason to (Em)rosin your (C)bow
There are stories of (Am)old and (C)new ones to be (G)told
To (C)carry a(G)way when you (D)go.
Chorus
So we'll (G)pass the bottle (D)'round and we'll (C)drink another (G)round.
That our (C) friendship will (Em)always re(C)main
For how can you (Am)tell when we (C)say our fare(G)wells
(C)When will we (G)all meet a(D)gain?
Let the (G)circle be (D)wide 'round the (G)fireside
And we'll (C)soon make (Am)room for (G)you
Let your (C)heart have no (Am)fear, there are (G)no strangers (Em)here,
Just (G)friends that you (D7)never (G)knew
We will (G)travel a(D)long on the (C)wings of a (G)song
With a (C)mind that' is (Em)open and (C)free
If we close our (Am)eyes to the (C)other (G)side
We're just (C)half of (G)what we could (D)be
