Yosef My Son chords

[Am]A child was bor[C]n into this world, [G]in 1933
[Am]a blessing for [C]a Jewish home, in[G] Frankfurt, Germany
[Dm]his father taught him A[Am]leph-Bais, he [F]learned to [G]read and [Am]write
[Dm]each night he heard his [G]mother say these words[Am] to him

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Yosef my s[Am]on, the Lord[F] our [G]G-d is [Am]one
[Dm]G-d is very ne[G]ar, Yosef my de[Am]ar
[Dm]Yosef my s[Am]on, we are t[F]he ch[G]osen on[Am]es
[Dm]do not fear we[G]'ll always be t[Am]ogether

[Am]Yosef was a [C]boy of 9, in[G] 1942
[Am]he had a secret h[C]iding place, like all[G] young children do
[Dm]horrified, he s[Am]aw them take his Mom[F] and Da[G]d awa[Am]y
[Dm]alone, he heard his mot[G]her's final wor[Am]ds to him

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, take[F] some fo[G]od and r[Am]un
[Dm]G-d is very n[G]ear, Yosef my d[Am]ear
[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, we a[F]re the c[G]hosen on[Am]es
[Dm]do not fear we'll a[G]lways be togeth[Am]er

[Am]To feel his hand on the W[C]estern Wall, was a li[G]fe-long dream come true
[Am]he'd made it to Jerusale[C]m, the city [G]of the Jew
[Dm]and he opened up his Si[Am]ddur, as [F]he had d[G]one each[Am] day
[Dm]and he prayed to G-d for his mot[G]her and his [Am]father

[Am]and an old man stood there pra[C]ying, for a[G] son he thought long dead
[Am]that voice! thats my fa[C]thers voice! wa[G]s all that Yosef said
[Dm]and he looked into the o[Am]ld man's eyes, t[F]ears cam[G]e down his [Am]face
[Dm]and he fell into[G] his father's e[Am]mbrace

[CHORUS]
[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, the [F]Lord our[G] G-d is [Am]one
[Dm]Now come your mother[G]'s here, Yosef [Am]my dear
[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, a mi[F]racle ha[G]s been d[Am]one
[Dm]from now on, we'll a[G]lways be togeth[Am]er

[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, the [F]Lord our[G] G-d is [Am]one
[Dm]G-d is very n[G]ear, Yosef my d[Am]ear
[Dm]Yosef my [Am]son, we a[F]re the c[G]hosen on[Am]es
[Dm]from now on, we'll a[G]lways be togeth[Am]er
[Dm]from now on, we'll a[G]lways be togeth[Am]er
