Chords for Ma Tovu - Danny Maseng

_ Matov hu alecha Yaakov mishkenotecha, he said,
how good are your tents, O Jacob, your dwelling places.
O Israel, Lebnach, Nebraska teaches us
that each one of us is born with a spark of holiness
and it's right there beneath the surface.
Most of the time, however, we're Yaakov.
We're kind of, eh, not exactly there.
We're not perfect.
And when we are that, we dwell in tents.
Matov hu alecha Yaakov.
But we rise up to our true potential.
We become Yisrael, God wrestlers.
Or as HaRav Kook, the great one, said,
[C#]
don't read [Em] Yisrael, read Shir El.
Read it [A#] a song of God, a song for God,
a God poem, a praise [D#] of God.
Same letters, just turned around.
So much beauty hidden in it.
Thank God for HaRav Kook, the father,
and for Lebnach, Nebraska.
Matov hu alecha Yaakov, Yishkanotecha Yisrael.
If you know it, please sing it with us.
And if you don't, you can pick it up
after a [G#] couple of refrains.
