F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
I remember long ago
F                       G
When our family got together
E
Little eyes aglow
F                       G
Multi-colored candles burning
E                       C
As the joyous songs were sung
F                       G
How I miss the Menorah lights
Em              Am
When we were all so young

[Verse]
Am                                      Em
Bubby burned the Latkes every Chanukah
Em                      Am
Forgot them in the frying pan each year
Am                      Em
While we were having fun playing Dreidle
G                       Em
Smoke alarms were wailing everywhere
Am                                      Em
Firemen were breaking all the windows
Em                      Am
Zeidy closed his eyes, began to pray

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                      F
Those Latkes had no luck
G               Am
Our mouths bit down & stuck
Am                      E
But Bubby made us eat them anyway

[Chorus]
F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
I remember long ago
F                       G
When our family got together
E
Little eyes aglow
F                       G
Multi-colored candles burning
E                       C
As the joyous songs were sung
F                       G
How I miss the Menorah lights
Em              Am
When we were all so young

[Verse 2]
Am                                      Em
Uncle Jake brought donuts by the dozen
Em                      Am
He warned us that Aunt Bertha couldn't bake
Am                      Em
But Uncle Hymie ate one singing Maoz Tzur
G
And that was Uncle Hymie's big mistake
Am                                      Em
Our parents stood there beaming as they called us
Em                      Am
And handed us our presents one by one

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Bathed in the light
Am
The Menorah burning bright
G                               E
Sweet memories as brilliant as the sun

[Chorus]
F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
I remember long ago
F                       G
When our family got together
E
Little eyes aglow
F                       G
Multi-colored candles burning
E                       C
As the joyous songs were sung
F                       G
How I miss the Menorah lights
E
When we were all so young

[Chorus]
F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
I remember long ago
F                       G
When our family got together
E
Little eyes aglow
F                       G
Multi-colored candles burning
E                       C
As the joyous songs were sung
F                       G
How I miss the Menorah lights
Em              Am
When we were all so young

[Bridge]
F                       G               E       Am
Where are those nights? Full of fun, full of lights
F                       G               Am              E
I can still hear their laughter and songs
F                       G               E       Am
But though they are gone, their spirit still lives on
F               G                       E
For Bubby's love is still alive and strong

[Chorus]
F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
I remember long ago
F                       G
When our family got together
E
Little eyes aglow
F                       G
Multi-colored candles burning
E                       C
As the joyous songs were sung
F                       G
How I miss the Menorah lights
E
When we were all so young

[Chorus]
F                       G
Those were the nights of Chanukah
E               C
Spent with family and friends
F                       G
Filled with dreams and laughter
E
That we thought would never end
F                       G
So cherish your moments together
E                       C
It's what Bubby would have done
F                       G
And we wish a happy Chanukah
Em      Am
To everyone!
