Misc Traditional – A Small Cup Of Wine (Guitar)

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

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

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

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

C            F           Am          G

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