A Small Cup Of Wine chords by Traditional

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


Verse 1:
Am
A small cup of wine he holds in his hand
C      G      Am     C
Young Mendel at a Farbrengen does stand
Am
Thousands of men standing in awe
C      G      Am
Their attention to the Rebbe is drawn

Am
Though Mendel stood there his mind was elsewhere
C      G      Am     C
To hear the Farbrengen he did not care
Am
He just could not wait until it was done
C      G      Am
So he could go home and have fun

Verse 2:
C          G      Am
As he walked down the street, his friends he would meet
C      G      Am     C
They'd teach him to lie and they'd teach him to cheat
C          G      Am
He'd look to both sides to make sure no one saw
C      G      Am
Then Mendel would break every law

Chorus:
C      F      Am     G
It occurred to him at a Farbrengen one week
C      F      Am     G
After all it's to me that the Rebbe does speak
Am      F      C
His words to my heart I must take
C      F      C
What a difference to me it would make

C      F      Am     G
How can I stand every week and ignore
C      F      Am     G
The words being said by the Nossi HaDar
Am      F      C
He decides with tears in his eyes
C      F      C
Enough of my cheating and lies

Verse 3:
Am     C      G      Am
As he walked down the street, he met his best friend
C      G      Am     C
He told him my bad ways have come to an end
C      Am     G      Am
I've come to regret all the things that I did
C      G      Am
From now on I'll be a Chosid

Chorus:
C      F      Am     G
It occurred to him at a Farbrengen one week
C      F      Am     G
After all it's to me that the Rebbe does speak
Am      F      C
His words to my heart I must take
C      F      C
What a difference to me it would make

C      F      Am     G
How can I stand every week and ignore
C      F      Am     G
The words being said by the Nossi HaDar
Am      F      C
He decides with tears in his eyes
C      F      C
Enough of my cheating and lies

Outro:
Am     C      G      Am
As he walked down the street, he met his best friend
C      G      Am     C
He told him my bad ways have come to an end
C      Am     G      Am
I've come to regret all the things that I did
C      G      Am
From now on I'll be a Chosid

C      G      Am
From now on I'll be a Chosid...
