[G] The [B] numbers what were put on me and I remember distinctly when it happened.
There was a lady sitting at a desk, a [E] woman.

_ _ _ _ [E] So I started adding up the numbers.
_ [G] They were facing me so I added up the numbers.
1-9-0-6-9-1
It [Am] added up to 26 and I realized 26 is [G] Yiltev-Ovkes, Hashem's name.
_ _ _ Wow
That really hit [A] me.
But then I [G] added the numbers the other way, [Am] which is the way the Germans would read the number _ _
169061
That added up to 23 _ and I could [Am] never figure out not for a long time anyway
What 23 [G] meant?
What's 23?
_ [Em] So I have to bring in a gentleman who is [Am] in our shul, was in our shul for 70 [Dm] years
He's [Am] passed on now.
[A] I told him the story 23 says 23.
[Am] Oh
That's easy.
Psalm 23, Tehillim 23
Dam ki eylekh begeitz ha [Dm]-mores velo yirarok ki [Am] ato imodi.
Okay, [G] and this is Imodi
Hashem was [A] with me.
It had to be from Hashem.
[Am] This is not something it had to be.
Why I survived?
[B] It's [Am] Hashem, but I'm sure he had something to do with it
