Eighth Day
Capo third fret
Em Am
Sitting in the hot desert sun,
C G
You’ve been told you’d be on the run
C Am
Down to Egypt to Pharaoh’s town,
Em G
to Rome and Spain and many other lands
Am Bm C D
But you opened your door to tired men,
C G
To lonely passersby and angels from Heaven
C Am
Your kindness and your care were known far and wide,
Em G
Father of a nation your soul is alive
Chorus
Am Em
Avraham, are we the children that you dreamed of?
C Em
Are we that shining star you saw at night?
Am Em
You know it’s true, we still call you Avinu
C G
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside,
D
Take us home
G
Take us home
Em Am C G
You’ve been through every test, now look a small shul in the midwest
C Am
A child was born just the other day,
Em G
And all those gathered there heard his mother say
Am Bm C D
Oh it’s been three thousand years
C G
And we’ve been fighting back all the tears
C Am
One man’s lullaby a nation will survive,
Em G
Father of our people your dream is alive.
Chorus
Bridge:
G Am
Your courage and your might, kept the Pharaohs up at night
C D Am C
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you
G Am
Your courage and your might, kept the Pharaohs up at night
C D Am C
No hand could hold you, no stranger would forget you
Avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of
And we’re that shining star you saw at night
You know it’s true, why we call you Avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home
Avraham yes we’re the children that you dreamed of
And we’re that shining star you saw at night
You know it’s true, why we call you Avinu
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
Our father our pride we’ve got your soul inside, take us home.
Take us home
