Debbie Friedman - The Latke Song Chords

[Verse 1]
  Cm
I am so mixed up that I cannot tell you
   Cm                               Db
I'm sitting in this blender turning brown
      Db                                  Cm
I've made friends with the onions and the flour
        Bb                          G
And the cook is scouting oil in the town
  Cm
I sit here wondering what will come of me
  Cm                          Db
I can't be eaten looking as I do
  Db                              Cm
I need someone to take me out and cook me
        Bb                       G
Or I'll really end up in a royal stew
 
 
[Chorus]
       Fm    Bb7
I am a latke
      Eb     Ab
I'm a latke
         Fm      G7
And I am waiting
    Cm
for Chanukah to come
       Fm    Bb7
I am a latke
      Eb     Ab
I'm a latke
         Fm
And I am waiting
    G7          Cm
for Chanukah to come
 
[Verse 2]
Cm
Every holiday ha foods so special
    Cm                               Db
I'd like to have that same attention too
  Db                                Cm
I do not want to spend life in this blender
Bb                             G
Wondering what I'm supposed to do
Cm
Matzah and Charoset are for Pesach
        Cm                       Db
Chopped liver and challah for Shabbat
Db                              Cm
Blintzes on Shavuot are delicious
         Bb                       G
And gefilte fish no holiday's without
 
[Verse 3]
       Cm
It's important that I have an understanding
   Cm                              Db
Of what it is that I'm supposed to do
    Db                             Cm
You see, there are so many who are homeless
        Bb                              G
With no jobs no clothes and very little food
     Cm
It's so important that we all remember
     Cm                                  Db
That while we have most of the things we need
   Db                              Cm
We must remember those who have so little
        Bb                               G
We must help them we must be the ones to feed
