Nikko Benson — I Could Be Jewish For You Acoustic

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

A
I should have known when I met you

By the Orthodox synagogue
              B7
I should have known when I saw you
       B
Buying extra lox at the bagel shop
E
I should have known

You’re not to blame
D
I should have known we’re not the same
B7
It doesn’t take an Einstein
                F#7
You’ve got the nose
           Dmaj7  B7
You’ve got the name
            E7
The name is Steinstein

        Bm7                      A7
I’m not sure what you want me to do
A           Bm7
But I think this is
                 A
Worth working through
       Bm7         B
I’ll admit it’s a little bit

Out of the blue
     A
But, might as well try I think

I could be Jewish for you

A
Like on the holidays…

E    A
I’ll stop baking gingerbread
      D           B7
Start baking Challah

When Hanukkah comes, heck
                    E7
I’ll light the mandala!
                B7
Menorah, excuse me

If you could just choose me
Bm7            A7            Dmaj7
I’ll sing eidledeidle not fa la
                   D
Yeah as far as the culture
               F#m7
I might need a clue
Bm7
But I’ll give it a shot, ‘cause
     E7           A
I’ve got to be Jewish for you

A
I’ll go with you to temple
    D
I’ll try to learn Yiddish
B7         Bm7
I’ll start eating Kosher
               E7
I’ll even play quidditch!
E7
Nope, that’s not a Jew thing
E7
Well teach me some new things
A7                            F#m7
I won’t be the slightest bit skittish
F#7     D
I’ll do it by rote till
                   F#m7
It feels like it’s true

And till I’m verklempt I’ll
              A7           A
Attempt to be Jewish for you

F7
I mean
D           F#m7
I would be Irish, or Russian or French
                 G7
But, no, Chinese is a bit of a stretch
               A7         C#7
Um, just wait, even your Rabbi
               F#m7
Will call me a mensch
Bm7
Did I mention I’ve been
           E7
Practising my kvetch?!
    D
Oh! I will adapt where
    C#m7         F#m7
The av’rage girl freezes
Bm7
Cos if I have to have the
 E
“Just Friends” talk
                Am
I’ll do it with Jesus

        A
Sorry,​ Jesus…You’re just not my type

              Am
Whatever they are, I could

Learn to like latkes!
B7
And if we have sons they’ll
Em7
All have Bar Matzahs!
             F#
Bar Mitzvahs I’m joking!
          F#m
I promise I know things
              F#m7
Enough not to ruin chbotkas
                  D
If that’s what it takes then
                 F#m7
That’s what I’ll do
                  Bm          B
Please don’t run away and one day
A
I’ll be Jewish for you

E    A
Tell me
A
You’ve never questioned
A
One holy command
A
Tell me
A
Don’t you think love’s
     B            A
More romantic unplanned?
A
Just tell me you’re nervous
A
We'll start with the service
                       F#m7
Just tell me where you stand
         E D
Tell me “I need you!”
           C#m
Tell me in Hebrew!
          B           C#      F#m
Teach me Lechayim and Horcrux and Oy
              Bm
Just tell me why
E          D            A
Instead of hi, I’ll say shalom
        D                A
Till my hovel feels like home
E     F#m
But I won’t say goodbye
               E
So here’s what I propose:

A
I’ll read through the Torah
     D
From cover to cover
          B
Till even Moses could see
        E
We were meant for each other
         F#m
You know I adore you
                    D
So let me fight for you
               A       F#m  E7
Together we’ll take on your mother

                  E
If that's what it takes
E
Then that's what i'll do
F#m7           D
I dare you to dare me
                  F#m
I swear I’ll come through
                     D
But I’m with you and there
D
Isn’t a thing I can’t do
Bm7
So if you’re inclined
Bm7
I won’t mind
Bm7
Being Jewish for you
