[F] I [Fm] [Gm]
was made way back in [C]
[Db] 1842
By a [Bbm] humble man, [Eb] a real [Ab] Gatherean Jew
[Bbm] [Fm] Did his work with honesty, [Bbm]
feeling and [Fm] pride
[Db] He was known in Kiev as [C] a young, careless [Fm] cry
With loving [Bbm] care, [C] his hands so [Db] sure and still
He [Fm] flamed me [Bbm] with [Eb] some parchment [Ab] ink and quill
[C] Each [Fm] day he'd slowly add to me [Bbm] just a few [Fm] more lines
With [Db] words to last [C] until the end [Fm] of time
[C] And on the [Fm] day [Bbm] when I was [Ab] finally [Fm] complete
[Bbm] [Ab] The [F] whole town came and [Bbm] filled the narrow street
And they sang and danced and held me high and [Fm] carried me [Db] away
To [Bbm] a little wooden [C] shul where I would [Fm] stay
And as the rabbi held me close [Bb] against [Fm] his chest
[Db] He [Gm]
[Fm] spoke out [Bbm] loud and clear to all the rest
He said, no matter if you're very young or [Fm] even if you're [Db] old
Live by [Bbm] the words you'll [C] find inside [Fm] this scroll
[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm] [Fm] Three days a [Bbm] week they [C] read from [Db] me out loud
It [Fm] filled my soul with [Eb] joy and made [Ab] me proud
[Bbm]
[Fm] They followed each and every verse [Bbm] with fire in their [Fm] eyes
The words [Db] that told them [C] how to [Fm] live their lives
I watched [Bbm] the [C] generations come [Fm] and [Db] go
I
[Fm] saw the old men [Eb] die, their [Ab] children grow
[Bbm]
[C] But [Fm] never in a century did [Bbm] I miss my town once
[Fm] For [Db] the fathers there had left [C] me [Fm] with their sons
But the hatred [Db] from the West [Bbm] came to Kiev
And [Gm] [Fm] there were [Ab] the Jews [Bb] who had not fled
But [Bbm] the Moshe, the Shamosh, he was [Fm] brave and he was [Db]
bold
He hid [Bbm] me in [C] a cellar dark and [F] cold
And for years and years [Ab] I waited all [Fm]
alone
[Gm] For [F] people of my [Ab] [Bb] town to take me home
[Bbm] So they'd sing and dance and hold me high and [Fm] carry me [Db] away
To my little [Bbm] wooden [C]
shul where I would [Fm] stay
[Cm] [Fm]
[Cm] But it was [Fm] someone [Bbm]
else [C] who found my [Db] hiding place
And [Fm] to America they [Eb] sent me in a [Ab] crate
[Bbm] [C]
The [Fm] man who took me off the boat, [Bbm] they said I was a [Fm] prize
But there [Db] were Jews I [C] did not [F] recognize
And in a case of [Bbm] glass [C] they put me on [Db] display
[F] Where visitors [Eb] would look at me [Ab] and say
[C]
[Fm] How very nice, how beautiful, a [Bbm] stunning work of [Fm] art
But [Db] then a night [C] was inside [Fm] my heart
And across the [Db] room I saw up [Fm] on a [Gm] shelf
[Ab] [Fm] Some old friends of [Gm] mine [Ab] I left [Bbm] back in Kiev
A [F] [Bbm] silver pair of cattle sticks and a [Fm] mignola made of brass
[Db]
They [Bbm] all become [C] echoes of the [F] past
So if you hear my [Ab] voice, why don't you [Db] come [Fm] along
[Gm] [Fm] And take me to the [Bb] place where [Bbm] I belong
And maybe even sing and dance when [Fm] you carry me [Db] away
To the little wooden [C] shul where [Fm] I would stay
[Cm]
[Fm] [Cm]
And as the [F] rabbi holds me close against [Fm] his chest
[Eb]
He'll [Fm] speak out [Db] loud and [Fm] clear to all the [Bbm]
rest
He'll say no matter if you're very [Fm] young or even if you're [Db] old
[Bbm] Live by the words you'll [C] find inside [Fm] this scroll
Live [Db] by the words [Bb] you'll [C] find
