D A G D
How Lucky are we that we have lights so we can see
Bm G A
Although the day is done
D A G D
What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark
Bm G A
Every evening, one by one
F# Bm G A D
Until the end of hanukkah, of hanukkah.

With the jingle bells and the toys
G D
And the TV shows and noise
Bm G A
It's easy to forget

At the end of the day

Our whole family will say

These words for Hanukkah

Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu melech ha'olam,

We Light the candles for Hanukkah, for Hanukkah

Fought so all of us could be free
Bm G A
And so we celebrate

On this festival of the lights
G D
There's a joyful time every night
G D A
But we illuminate
F# Bm G A D
the candles of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah
D A G D Bm G A
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam she'asa niseem La'avoteinu
