A Small Cup Of Wine chords by Traditional

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Am
A small cup of wine he holds in his hand
C            G           Am          C
Young Mendel at a Farbrengen does stand
Am
Thousands of men standing in awe
C            G           Am
Their attention to the Rebbe is drawn

Am
Though Mendel stood there his mind was elsewhere
C            G           Am          C
To hear the Farbrengen he did not care
Am
He just could not wait until it was done
C            G           Am
So he could go home and have fun

Verse 2:
C                   G           Am
As he walked down the street, his friends he would meet
C            G           Am          C
They'd teach him to lie and they'd teach him to cheat
C                   G           Am
He'd look to both sides to make sure no one saw
C            G           Am
Then Mendel would break every law

Chorus:
C            F           Am          G
It occurred to him at a Farbrengen one week
C            F           Am          G
After all it's to me that the Rebbe does speak
Am            F           C
His words to my heart I must take
C            F           C
What a difference to me it would make

C            F           Am          G
How can I stand every week and ignore
C            F           Am          G
The words being said by the Nossi HaDar
Am            F           C
He decides with tears in his eyes
C            F           C
Enough of my cheating and lies

Verse 3:
Am          C            G           Am
As he walked down the street, he met his best friend
C            G           Am          C
He told him my bad ways have come to an end
C            Am          G           Am
I've come to regret all the things that I did
C            G           Am
From now on I'll be a Chosid

Chorus:
C            F           Am          G
It occurred to him at a Farbrengen one week
C            F           Am          G
After all it's to me that the Rebbe does speak
Am            F           C
His words to my heart I must take
C            F           C
What a difference to me it would make

C            F           Am          G
How can I stand every week and ignore
C            F           Am          G
The words being said by the Nossi HaDar
Am            F           C
He decides with tears in his eyes
C            F           C
Enough of my cheating and lies

Outro:
Am          C            G           Am
As he walked down the street, he met his best friend
C            G           Am          C
He told him my bad ways have come to an end

I've come to regret all the things that I did
C            G           Am

From now on I'll be a Chosid...
