Verse :
A minorAm G+G
They lift him on their shoulders
C majorC DmDm
and bring him to the cheder
FF
Where he licks the honey off the letters
E minorEm
of the aleph-bais
A minorAm G+G
And with tears they pray to Heaven
C majorC DmDm
for their precious little gem
FF G+G
May the Torah always be this sweet
E minorEm A minorAm
Vhaarev Na Hashem
A minorAm G+G
But as the boy grows older
C majorC DmDm
and Gemara leads his day
FF
That passion for his Torah learning
E minorEm
slowly fades away
A minorAm G+G
For he struggles with each sugya
C majorC DmDm
and he tires from despair
FF G+G
If gemara is so challenging
E minorEm A minorAm
does it even pay to care
Chorus:
FF
Vhaarev Na Hashem
C majorC
Make it sweet for us again
DmDm
Like the honey that we tasted years
A minorAm
before
FF
Because each word is ours to own
C majorC
until we feel it in our bones
DmDm
And we'll want to keep on
E minorEm A minorAm
learning more and more
FF
Vhaarev Na Hashem
C majorC
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
DmDm
So your Torah will forever pierce the
A minorAm
heart
FF
Be mesayem and return
C majorC
to the words we love to learn
DmDm
For we never feel
E minorEm A minorAm
complete when we're apart
A minorAm G+G
A augmentedA tiny ray of hope
C majorC DmDm
soon begins to show
FF
When his Rebbe says Chazara is
E minorEm
the key to help you grow
A minorAm G+G
To gain clarity and cheishek
C majorC DmDm
you must constantly review
FF G+G
And you'll love to learn gemara when
E minorEm A minorAm
the words speak back to you
A minorAm G+G
With chazara of his learning
C majorC DmDm
his spirit is revived
FF
As the words of Torah penetrate
E minorEm
and slowly come alive
A minorAm G+G
His excitement is rekindled
C majorC DmDm
and he's shteiging with his peers
FF G+G
He can finally feel that passion
E minorEm A minorAm
that was lost for all those years
Chorus:
DmDm
Oh the power that we share
A minorAm
as words of Torah fill the air
DmDm G+G
Could you imagine that we'd ever come
A minorAm
this far
DmDm
And the nachas that we'll see
A minorAm
might have never come to be
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm
If we didn't know how capable we are
Chorus:
End chorus (slightly different chords):
FF
Vhaarev Na Hashem
E minorEm
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
Bb majorBb
I can sit and learn as hours pass me
A minorAm
by
FF
And my gemara, now worn-out
C majorC
I could never be without
DmDm
For I finally feel that
E minorEm A minorAm
sweetness from on High
