Verse :
     Am                  G
They lift him on their shoulders
     C                 Dm
and bring him to the cheder
          F
Where he licks the honey off the letters
Em
of the aleph-bais
Am                 G
And with tears they pray to Heaven



            C              Dm
for their precious little gem
F           G
May the Torah always be this sweet
Em          Am
Vhaarev Na Hashem

    Am               G
But as the boy grows older
     C                Dm
and Gemara leads his day
     F
That passion for his Torah learning
Em
slowly fades away
         Am                 G
For he struggles with each sugya
        C             Dm
and he tires from despair
    F             G
If gemara is so challenging
        Em           Am
does it even pay to care

Chorus:
  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem
         C
Make it sweet for us again
         Dm
Like the honey that we tasted years
   Am
before
              F
Because each word is ours to own
          C
until we feel it in our bones
           Dm
And we'll want to keep on
Em                 Am
learning more and more

  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem
C
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
         Dm
So your Torah will forever pierce the
Am
heart
      F
Be mesayem and return
        C
to the words we love to learn
        Dm
For we never feel
     Em              Am
complete when we're apart

  Am           G
A tiny ray of hope
 C              Dm
soon begins to show
          F
When his Rebbe says Chazara is
     Em
the key to help you grow
         Am           G
To gain clarity and cheishek
          C            Dm
you must constantly review
            F               G
And you'll love to learn gemara when
     Em                 Am
the words speak back to you

        Am            G
With chazara of his learning
      C          Dm
his spirit is revived
        F
As the words of Torah penetrate
      Em
and slowly come alive
       Am           G
His excitement is rekindled
            C                Dm
and he's shteiging with his peers
        F                 G
He can finally feel that passion
          Em                 Am
that was lost for all those years


Chorus:
        Dm
Oh the power that we share
             Am
as words of Torah fill the air
           Dm               G
Could you imagine that we'd ever come
      Am
this far
         Dm
And the nachas that we'll see
            Am
might have never come to be
       C               Em        Am
If we didn't know how capable we are

Chorus:

End chorus (slightly different chords):
  F
Vhaarev Na Hashem
     Em
Oy Vhaarev Na Hashem
      Bb
I can sit and learn as hours pass me
Am
by
          F
And my gemara, now worn-out
         C
I could never be without
       Dm
For I finally feel that
  Em               Am
sweetness from on High
