Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

This is my translation of the well known and well loved Israeli song ???? ?????, "The Policeman's Ballad",
from the 1971 Ephraim Kishon film "The Policeman".
This is not exactly a word-for-word translation, but I tried to preserve the meaning and rhyme scheme as best
I could so that the words align with the chord strumming.
The original song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=53&v=E8Q1TE_kT20

[Verse I]
Dm D Gm
All of the streets now are bare, the alleyways are his although
Em7b5 A Dm
Once more he’s alone, flanked by his shadow
Dm D Gm
All of the streets now are bare, the alleyways belong to him
Em7b5 A Dm D
Nothing worth the rush, nothing to miss

[Chorus]
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
If only one could turn, turn back the hands of time
Gm7 A7 Dm C/E F Adim
Oh what a brilliant world, he would then have built, oh
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
If one could just return, that which has long been gone
Gm7 A
Oh how the world how the world, would be changed

[Verse II]
Dm D Gm
It’s been ten years now at least, spent walking through the silhouettes
Em7b5 A Dm
Counting passing wheels, building up regrets
Dm D Gm
It’s been ten years now at least, spent walking morning day and eve
Em7b5 A Dm D
There’s no one to love, nor one to leave

[Chorus]
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
If only one could turn, turn back the hands of time
Gm7 A7 Dm C/E F Adim
Oh what a brilliant world, he would then have built, oh
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
If one could just return, that which has long been gone
Gm7 A
Oh how the world how the world, would be changed

[Verse III]
Dm D Gm
It’s a grey morn in the sky, the alleyways are his no mo’
Em7b5 A Dm
People tell him come, people tell him go
Dm D Gm
It’s that grey morn in the sky, changes the picture then once more
Em7b5 A Dm D
Sun, will you emerge, over the shore
