They Tried To Kill Us, We Survived Let's Eat by Jewmongous (Sean Altman)
Tabbed out by Scott McPherson (No affilation with Sean Altman)

Here you go, the story of Passover, according to Wikipedia
I think I have it right, if I have any mistakes, please tell me.
Capo on 2nd fret

Em                             AmWe were slaves to pharaoh in Egypt
Em              AmThe year was 1492
Em                          AmHitler had just invaded Poland
Em                         AmMadonna had just become a Jew
Em                         AmMoses was found on the Potomac
Em                                  AmThen he marched with Martin Luther King
F#He came back to free us from our bondage

'Cause S&M has never been our thing
Em                                         AmThey tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat
Em                                            AmThey tried to kill us, we were faster on our feet
CSo they chase us to the border
           Em             There's a parting of the water
Em                                    AmTried to kill us, we survived, let's eat

(Just repeat the same pattern)

Then the Pharaoh, who looked like Yul Bryner

Heard the Jews were trying to escape

Charlton Heston came right down from the mountain

He said, "Pharaoh, you're a damn dirty ape"

The menorah was almost out of oil

Farrakhan was planning Kristalnacht

The gefitle fish was nearing extinction

It looked like Moses and his flock were fehrkakt

They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat

They tried to kill us, we were faster on our feet

And we knew how to resist

'Cause we'd rented Schindler's List

Tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat

The 10 Egyptian plagues
1. Blood
2. Locusts
3. Boils
4. Dandruff
5. Acne
6. Backne
7. Indigestion
8. Sciatica
9. Cataracts
10. Sickle cell anemia


We fled on foot, there was no time to tarry

Leavening the bread would take too long

All we had was egg foo yung and matzoh

While battling the fearsome Viet Cong

And so tonight, we gather to remember

The ancient Hebrews who paid the price

We have a Seder, each year in December

To commemorate our savior, Jesus Christ


They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat

They tried to kill us, we were faster on our feet

So we never did succumb to the annual pogrom

Tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat



They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat

They tried to kill us, we were faster on our feet

So come on, blow the shofar

'Cause they haven't nailed us so far

Tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat
