[Verse]
   E
[tab]E7                   Am
Dreariness fills his night

 E                 Dm
Hardship and pain befall him

                          E
His chance of survival is slim.

 E
Finding no source of true comfort

       E7                     Am
To the Rebbe he turns, with a letter

 E                      Dm
Compelled to express to him

                                 E
How life could have been so much better
[Chorus]
    Am                     Dm     Am
The boy did not beg for an easier life

Dm        B7         E7
Nor for a hope to be free

  Dm                             F
"Vos zol ich ton az s’davent zich nisht"

Am                         E
That was the Russian boy’s plea

    Am                     Dm     Am
The boy did not beg for an easier life

Dm        B7         E7
Nor for a hope to be free

  Dm                             F
"Vos zol ich ton az s’davent zich nisht"

Am           E7            Am
That was the Russian boy’s plea
[Verse]
       E
As the Rebbe spoke at Farbrengen

     E7                    Am
The Chassidim gazed on, in surprise

       E                 Dm
As the Rebbe choked with emotion

    E
And tears welled up in his eyes
[Chorus]
    Am                     Dm     Am
The boy did not beg for an easier life

Dm        B7         E7
Nor for a hope to be free

  Dm                             F
"Vos zol ich ton az s’davent zich nisht"

Am                         E
That was the Russian boy’s plea

    Am                     Dm     Am
The boy did not beg for an easier life

Dm        B7         E7
Nor for a hope to be free

  Dm                             F
"Vos zol ich ton az s’davent zich nisht"

Am           E7            Am
That was the Russian boy’s plea
