After playing just the melody notes through once, I like to play this a second time with twice as many strokes... it fills the song out somehow.

See below for an MP3 of this arrangement.

Note that this is in 3/4 time, with the first beat of each line held over from the previous measure.

Chords: G  G - (C)   - G C    G  C - (G)  D     G  -
Melody: D4 D    E    D B C    D  C    B   A     B  G3
Lyrics: We ga - ther together in joy -ful Thanksgiving,

-  D  - (C)   D  Em   - (D)    D   A - (D)  A7   D      -
D4 D     E    F# G       A     F#  E    D   E    D

D   D      E    F# G     D   D   D     E   C     D   B     G3
For life   that en-folds us, and helps and heals and holds us,

G7  C    - (G) Am       G    - (C)    Em  C  D    - (G)   G     -

And leads   be-yond the goals   which our forbears   once sought!
