Susi: B minor
Verse 1
Bm
I don't know how far I'm going to have to
go to see my own self
or hear my own voice.
I tuned in on the radio
for hours
and never heard it. Then I went to the
movie picture show
and I never heard it there.
A
Bm
G
I put handfuls of coins in the
Bm
machines
G
Bm
but the voice there was
no voice of mine.
D
Bm
G
I mean, it was not my voice,
Bm
not the words that I hear in my own ears
Em
Bm
when I walk along and look at faces.

and I order a hot pastrami
A
D
and I hear the lady ask me,
Em
Bm
Em
Bm
would you like to have a portion
Em
Bm
G
of coleslaw on the side?
Em
G
Bm
that she has my voice.
And I tell her I would like my coleslaw on a side dish,
please.
D
Bm
And I'd like to have a glass of tea with lemon,
please.
And she knows that
I'm speaking her
And a fellow sat across the table
near my wall.
Em
Bm
and drank his beer.
And somehow I had the feeling
as I heard him speak.
And he spoke a long time.
Em
Bm
not one word was my personal language.
D
Em
A
Bm
But I could tell by the deep sound,
G
Bm
the full tone of his voice,
D
A
F#m
that he spoke my language.
D
Bm
And I suppose you may wonder
D
Bm
just how he could speak in a dialect
Em
D
Bm
that I could not savvy or understand,
Bm
D
A
D
sound that he made.
G
Bm
D

long time ago,
Bm
D

walking up and down the side roads
Bm
G

and the main stems of this land here.
Bm
D
I learned to listen this way
G
Bm
when I washed dishes on ships,
G
Bm
G
Bm
Em
Bm
G
and I had to learn how to I knew it when I walked ashore in Africa, an d in Scotland, and Ireland, Britain,

and Irish canals, and railroad bridges,
G
Bm
D
and Highlanders' cows, and horses.
G
Bm
here, I knew the speech was
D
G
the same as mine,
Bm
D
Bm
But it was the dialect again.
D
G
Bm
Nasal, nasal, throaty, and deep, and and chesty,
chesty from the stomach, from the lungs,
D
G
Bm
from high, up in the head,
Em
D
Bm
from pitch up, pitch up and down.
G
Bm
G
Bm
D
again to say,
A
Bm
D
G
Bm
this is my language.
D
Em
This is part of my voice

These voices on the stages

that maybe if I look closer
G

I might hear some more

of my voice
G

so as to keep my eyes and my ears
G
D
G
Bm
F#m

and my feelings wide open
Bm
Em
Bm
And I did hear, I heard all that I came
D
Bm
to hear here in Coney Island's Jewish air.
A
Bm
I heard reflections, recollections,
D
Bm
seen faces in memory.
I heard voices untangle
their words before me.
And I knew by the feeling that I felt
Em

D
G
Bm
that here was my voice.
