Abie Rotenberg

Capo 3
          G             Em
Come with me little neshomele
            Am              D
Come let me hold you in my hand
          G        C           Bm
And we’ll fly away you and I together
       C        Am      D
To a place down on the land

          G             Em
Come with me little neshomele
       Am                  D
Don’t shy away do as your told
           G            C            Bm
There’s a little child waiting to be born today
          C        Am       D
You’re to be his spark his soul

[D string: 0-1 into Em]
         Em       C
But dear malachel no
B               Em
I don’t want to go
         C                G
There is so much pain and evil
  C               D
Upon the earth below
         Em             C
Let me stay up here in heaven
            B                Em
Where it’s safe and I’ll be pure
             C           G
Please don’t make me go away
           C            D
Can’t you see I’m so afraid

          G             Em
Come with me little neshomele
              Am              D
It’s time you faced your destiny
       G                 C
As we fly beneath the clouds now
        Bm
I will show you
         C       Am       D
There is so much you can be

         Em       C
Yes dear malachel I can see
   B          Em
Kedusha over there
              C                G
Look there’s someone learning Torah
          C               D
There’s another deep in prayer
         Em             C
I will stay here if you answer me
B                   Em
 It’s all I need to know
           C                G
You must promise me dear friend
        C                 D
That I too will be like them

          G             Em
Come with me little neshomele
           Am              D
Oh it’s a task that I must do
      G              C              Bm
As I tap you on the lip you will forget me
              C             D
Your on your own it’s up to you
