[E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [E] _ How are you, my [Em] dear?
I'm Yisro.
[Am] I'm writing [F#] from war [B]-torn Ukraine. _
_ _ [E] I know we're thousands of miles [C] apart, [D] not too far [Bm] to sense each [E] other's pain.
The _
[C] _ bombs rain down here with no [E] _ reprieve, [Am] fear [F#] a constant in our _ _ hearts.
[Em] And tonight [C] we're making [E] a move [B] to leave, [D] heading toward [Bm] the border [Em] in the _ dark.
A cry _ piercing [C] the souls _ _ [Am] of Jews [D] _ truly [Em] _ _ exiled.
[Am] But yet [D] we're [Em] Jews of courage, _ _ [D] whose [Bm] faith is stronger.
[Em] _ _ _ _ Your love [G] is keeping [C] us _ [G] whole.
[Am] Hearts _ [D] joined [Em] across the _ ocean.
[Am] I _ [F#] feel you're [Em] right here with _ _ [D] me, supporting [B] me, _ [Em] brother. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] On every [Am] _ [Em] crowded bus [C] and train, _ [Am] families [F#m] flee [B] to survive.
_ _ [Em] I barely [Am] _ _ [Em] recognize my [C] Ukraine, [D] but I'm certain our future's [Em] still _ alive.
_ In times [Am] of peace, [Em] you have come [C] to pray.
[Am] The Baal Shem Tov, [F#] the Magid [B] and Reb _ Nachman.
[Em] I won't give [E] up [Em] hoping for [C] that day when [D] we greet [Bm] Moshiach [Em] Yerushalayim.
_ _ _ A cry [D] _ piercing [C] the [Bm] souls _ [Am] of Jews [D] _ [Em] truly _ _ exiled.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ brother.
I know [Am] you're thinking, [Em] _ what can I do with [Am] so [F#] many Jewish [B] lives at stake?
_ [Em] In truth, [C] the power [Em] lies [C] with you [D] and the world of [Bm] a difference [Em] you can make.
[Bm] _ _ [Em] The strength [Am] of armies, [Em] the roar [C] of tanks [Am] are never [F#] the force in [B] _ control. _
[Em] For nothing [Am] stirs [Em] Hashem's _
[C] Rachamim [D] like [Bm] pure As [Em] _ Yisrael.
_ A cry _ piercing [C] the _ [G] souls [Am] of _ [D] Jews [Em] truly _ _ exiled.

[D] supporting [Bm] your holy [Em] brothers. _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [D] With love, _ your [Bm] _ dear _ _
[Em] _ brother. _ _ _ _ _

_ A cry piercing [C] the souls _ [G] _ _ _
