I have seen this song in C, but I find it sounds better in D. So here it is in D. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D                 A       G                 D 
How lucky are we that we have lights so we can see 

G             D       A 
Although the day is done 

       D               A                G                   D 
What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark 

G     D               A 
Every evening, one by one 

F#                G           D A  D     A
Until the end of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah

         D                    A 
With the jingle bells and the toys 

        G            D
And the TV shows and noise 

G         D      A 
It's easy to forget 

       D          A 
At the end of the day 

          G            D 
Our whole family will say

G                A    D    A
These words for Hanukkah 

D       A       G       D    G  D
Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu 

            A
melech ha'olam,

D          A       G               D 
asher kid'shanu B'mitz'votav v'tzivanu

G         D            A 
l'hadlik ner shel Hanukkah

F#                       G             D A   D   A
We Light the candles for Hanukkah, for Hanukkah 

      D              A 
We remember how Maccabees 

           G                  D 
Fought so all of us could be free 

G          D     A 
And so we celebrate 

         D              A 
On this festival of the lights 

           G                 D 
There's a joyful time every night 

G           D     A 
Where we illuminate

F#               G          D A   D   A
the candles of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah 

D              A       G                D 
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam 

G       D             A
she'asa niseem La'avoteinu 

F#  G     D        A      D
bayamim haheim baz'man hazeh. 

G A   D 
Hanukkah...
