Chords for Barbra Streisand Sings Hatikvah and Talks to Golda Meir

[N] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Bbm] Before it was [G]
fashionable for [Bb] ladies to be in positions of importance [A] and responsibility,
_ [Ab] there [B] was a woman who just [Bb]
went [G] out and did her thing.
[Bb] _ [F] And by doing it, she ended up [Bb] being one of the [G] most admired, _ [Gm] respected, and beloved women
of [F] this century.
[Em] In Israel, we have sent our cameras [Ab] to the home of this marvelous woman. _
[G] Ladies and gentlemen, the former Prime Minister of the State [F] of Israel, [Eb] Golda Meir.
_ [Dm] _ _
[Bb] _ _ Barbara?
[Eb] [Gb] Is that you, [G] Golda?
Yes.
Oh, [Bb] it's so nice to talk to you.
[A] It's wonderful to hear your voice.
I wish I could see your [Bbm] face.
Oh, yeah.
Modern technology [A] has not gotten us [G] that far yet, huh?
No, on my _ [Db] 90th birthday, I'll do that. _
I hear that your birthday is May 3rd. Right.
_ [G] _ _ [D] So, congratulations.
[F]
Thank you very much.
_ _ [G] _ _ _
Golda, I can't tell you what an honor it is to [Bb] talk to you.
And if someone else should [B] call you while we're [G] talking, it's all right.
You can put me on [D] hold.
I wouldn't mind.
_ _ [Ab] _ [Em] I want to tell you [Eb] that I was really very [D] much excited [C] _ _ in _ [D] _ [Eb] preparing this, in preparation for this.
I wasn't doing anything, of course, but just [D] thinking of it. Yeah.
[Gb] To speak to you and to know all my good friends that are with you.
Golda, I want to ask you a few questions.
Is [C] that okay?
Okay.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Bb] _ I've [G] always wondered how difficult it was for you to, or maybe not difficult, to make
[Gbm] the transition from prime minister to a full-time mother and housewife.
[G] _ Oh, it [Ab] isn't as good as all that.
[F] It's not?
No, they don't let me.
[Ab] Well, [Bb] the country needs you.
The world needs you. [Eb] Oh, wow.
[Bb] _ _
[B] How do you manage all these years to [Gb] have so much energy?
Do you take vitamins or a special diet? No, [B] never.
Do you go jogging every morning?
No.
Never sleeping pills nor [A] vitamins.
What?
[Eb] _
No [Bb] sleeping pills and no vitamins.
No vitamins?
No.
_ _ _ [B] I really want to thank you from all of us [Eb] for allowing us to come into your home tonight,
Golda, and for taking [G] up your valuable time to be with [F] us.
No, not at all.
It's really a pleasure and [Eb] I'm honored _ that you people have chosen [D] me to speak to you.
And please let them know how deeply appreciative I and everybody in Israel is of your [Db] contribution
for the 30th [B] anniversary.
Thank you, [G] Golda.
Inshallah.
