Chords for Allan Taylor@Fylde Folk Festival 2013

Jewish guy sitting in the park.
But I find that if I'm going to sing someone
else's song I've got to find a way into it that relates to what I've seen in my
life.
_ And the way I got into it was what I saw when I traveled [B] through former
[E] Yugoslavia from [B] Slovenia _ through Croatia.
When [G#] I saw those lines of people walking
down the street, _ a lot of women [B] all dressed in black pushing their pram,
[D] their only belongings in it.
When I saw them [E] in the enclaves that they were
given to cook their [Bm] food and so on. _
And I [D] realized unfortunately what happened then
is still happening.
[E] And with my own [Bm] eyes I'd seen it.
That was my way into the
song Rubenstein remembers. _

There's an old man in [Em] the park _ [C#m] sometimes sits [Em] [Bm] till after dark. _
[D] Old men [G] often don't
say much.
[F#] _
_ [B] Rubenstein is just [F#] one such.

_ _ [Bm] But if you sit [Em] with him a while _ [F#] he will talk
[Bm] and sometimes smile.
_ _ [G] Rubenstein remembers [F#] _ [C#] long ago _ September's _ long [G#m] ago.

_ They say he
came from Germany. _
[Bm] _ _ Poor hard-working family.
_ [F#] _ Jewish tailors don't [D] get rich.
[F#m] But they sew a [Bm] close, close stitch.
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
He wanted to be left alone. _ _
[Bm] Raise a family,
build a home.
[F#] _
He didn't want to stand in line.
[D] A yellow [Bm] star is David's sign.

Rubenstein [Em] remembers [F#] _ but he [Bm] will not say _ where he was [G] or what he did.
[F#] All those
[Bm] years he went [B] away.
[Bm] _ [Em] Rubenstein remembers _ [F#] _
but his voice [B] is [Bm] still. _ _
He walks [G] away
and through the park [F#] _
never to be there again. _
