              Hannukah, Oh Hannukah 
 
Am 
Oh Hanukkah, oh Hanukkah, come light the menorah 
Am                  G                   C 
Let's have a party, we'll all dance the hora 
Am               Dm           G          C 
Gather round the table, we'll give you a treat 
Am          Dm            E         Am 
Dreidels to play with and latkes to eat 
 
Am               Am 
And while we are playing 
C               G       C    E 
The candles are burning low 
Am           Dm          Am            Dm 
One for each night, they shed a sweet light 
Am              G         C 
To remind us of days long ago 
Am           Dm          Am            Dm 
One for each night, they shed a sweet light 
Am              E         Am 
To remind us of days long ago
