Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[E]The[Dm] litt[C]le Heb[A]rew girl[Am]
Heard her [E]mother's dying wish
[Dm]"Don't become Christian
Just be [Am]Jewish"[E]
"Honor [F]our tradition

[Verse 2]
Of deny[C]ing God above
Heed the [Dm]pi geon of religion
And ig[E]nore the dove of [Am]love"[E][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[C]The lit[A]tle Hebrew gir[Am]l
Was a [E]maid for Calvinists
[Dm]She read in the gospel
Jesus [Am]exist[E]s

[Verse 4]
[F]Yet she still persisted
In her [C]tribal sacrilege
She [Dm]would nix the crucifixion
Always [E]dredging up her [Am]pledge[E]
[A]"Mama, I love you"

[Verse 5]
[Dm]The[F][C][Dm][E][Am]
[E][Dm]
[C]lit[A]tle Hebrew gir[Am]l
Having [E]lived her fleeting time
[Dm]Rested near the churchyard
Where the [Am]bells [E]chime
[F]Promising we'll climb that Final

[Verse 6]
[C]
day to peter's gate
Maybe [Dm]she can hear them ringing
Maybe [E]death is not too [Am]late[E]
[A]"Mama, I

[Verse 7]
love you"
