Chords for Yaakov Shwekey - Mama Rochel - HASC 18

_ _ _ [E] Thousands of years [Abm] in Golos, [E] we ask [Dbm] our mother Rochel [Abm] to cry for us again. _
A heart-rending song composed [E] by the one and [Abm] only A.B. Rotenberg.
[Dbm] Chua Sholeima A.B., we wish you were here.
[Abm] _ _
_ With the rising [B] sun [E] on her wedding day,
[B] She raised her eyes to [E] the heavens,
_ And she thanked [Abm] Hashem [E] for the [B] man of truth
With whom she [Dbm] would build [Gb] a nation. _
_ But when [B] nightfall came, [E] destiny betrayed,
[B] The veil _ [E] concealing another. _
_ Yet a [Ab] sister's shame [E] not a [Gb] shattered dream,
[B] The cold [E] of her [Abm] heart and her sad sister.
Mama [E] Rochel, cry for [Gb] us again,
Won't you [Ebm] shed a tear for [E] your dear children?
If [Dbm] you raise your sweet voice [Gb] now and then, [Abm] the day will come.
_ [E] Mama Rochel, cry [Gb] for us again,
[Ebm] Won't you shed a tear for your dear children?
[Dbm] With your blessing, and your tears, [Eb] to overcome [Abm] the world.
