Hanukkah Blessings Tab

I have seen this song in C, but I find it sounds better in D. So here it is in D.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


		        			 
How Lucky are we that we have lights so we can see 

	      	       
Although the day is done 

		           				     
What a miracle that a spark lifts these candles out of the dark 

     	       
Every evening, one by one 

		    		   
Until the end of hanukkah, of hanukkah. 



		      		 
With the jingle bells and the toys 

			 
And the TV shows and noise 

	        
It's easy to forget 

		    
At the end of the day 

			 
Our whole family will say  

		       
These words for Hanukkah 



              	     	 
Baruch atah Adonai, eloheinu melech ha'olam,  

                 		    
asher kid'shanu B'mitz'votav v'tzivanu  

 	  	       
l'hadlik ner shel Hanukkah. 

		          		   
We Light the candles for Hanukkah, for Hanukkah 



		      
We remember how Maccabees 

			       
Fought so all of us could be free 

	         
And so we celebrate 

		           
On this festival of the lights 
	 
			      
There's a joyful time every night 

 	       
But we illuminate  

		  	         
the candles of Hanukkah, of Hanukkah 



      	              		         		 
Baruch atah Adonai Eloheinu melech ha'olam she'asa niseem La'avoteinu 

   	                        
bayamim haheim baz'man hazeh. 

    
Hanukkah...
