It’s Time To Say Good Shabbos

Abie Rotenberg

Based on the Journeys version
Capo 3
    C
The sun is going down 
F                          C
It's shining through the trees,
C
Another week's gone by 
F             G
become a memory,
C
So throw away your hammer, 
F                        C
There's nothing left to do,
F      G        C        Am
Go on home and find the gift, 
  F              G        C
That's waiting there for you.


          C                 G
Oh, it’s time to say Good Shabbos, 
Am                       F
'cause all your work is done,
       F
Gonna spend the day 
   F               C
together with the Holy One,
C              G
Say a special blessing 
      Am                     F
On a cup that's filled with wine,
F
Man and his creator 
        C
it's a very special sign.


      C
Your candles will be burning, 
F                  G         C
they'll fill your home with light,
C
Singing songs of Shabbos, 
F              G
well into the night,
C
So throw away your hammer, 
F                        C
there's nothing left to do,
F      G        C        Am
Go on home and find the gift 
F               G         C
that's waiting there for you.


Chorus
          C
You can spend time with your family, 
F                         C
you'll study and you'll pray,
C
Why not wait till after Shabbos, oh, 
        F               C
those nails won't run away,
C
So throw away your hammer, 
F                        C
there's nothing left to do,
F      G       C         Am
Go on home and find the gift, 
F               G         C
That’s waiting there for you.


Chorus

    These are great!
    I figured out most of that nigun/song I sent you; but not all.
    Shuvi hashunamis are the words he starts halfway through.
