[Verse 1]
      A9
I'm breaking my mother's heart

A9
The longer I stand looking at you

    F#m7  
The more I hear it splinter and crack

     E/D     D/E   A9
From ninety miles away
[Verse 2]
      A9
I'm breaking my mother's heart

A9
The JCC of Spring Valley is shaking

     F#m7  
And crumbling to the ground

         D7                 D/E
And my grandfather's rolling

Rolling in his grave

If you came from Spain or Japan

         Dmaj7      A2/C#
Or the back of a van

           B9                       D7
Just as long as you're not from Hebrew school

            F#m7              D7
I'd say, "Now I'm getting somewhere

I'm finally breaking through!"

         Bm7  
I've had Shabbas dinners on Friday nights

     F7#11  
With every Shapiro in Washington Heights

         A/E            A+/F
But the minute I first met you

        F#min               A+/F
I could barely catch my breath

           A/E                       B7#11/D#
I've been standing for days with the phone in my hand

        Dmaj7               F7b5  
Like an idiot, scared to death

            A/E                  A+/D#
I've been wandering through the desert

          Dmaj7               A/C#
I've been beaten, I've been hit

   Bm7          A2          Gmaj9        F#m11
My people have suffered for thousands of years

And I don't give a shit!
[Chorus]
                     F#m7                     D7
If you had a pierced tongue, that wouldn't matter

                     F#m7                     D7
If you once were in jail or you once were a man,

        F#m7            A2/E           A/D               A2/C#
If your mother and your brother had "relations" with each other

          B9                          D7
And your father was connected to the Gotti clan

          F#m7            D7
I'd say, "Well, nobody's perfect"

     F#m7         C7#11  
It's tragic but it's true

         Bm7   A2/C#   D      D#m7-5
I'd say, "Hey! Hey! Shiksa goddess!

           D/E
I've been waiting for someone like..."

I have to write!
[Chorus]
C7#11              F#m7                   D7
   If you drove an R.V., that wouldn't matter

                     F#m7                  D7
If you like to drink blood, I think it's cute

                F#min     F#m/E             Dmaj7     F#m/C#  
If you've got a powerful connection to your firearm collection

          B9                  D7
I'd say, Draw a bead and shoot

                  F#m7            D7
I'm your Hebrew slave, at your service

     F#m7          C7#11  
Just tell me what to do

      Bm7   A/C# D    A/E
I say, "Hey hey hey hey!

   F#m9
Like You"
