C
Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
F
Em
Dm
Like a scene from a costume ball
G
Decked out in the colors of Europe
F
G
C
And on fire with the hope of it all
There my father's own father
stood huddled
F
Em
Dm
With the tired and hungry and scared
G
Turn of the century pilgrims
F
G
C
Bound by the dream that they shared
They were standing in line just like cattle
F
Em
Dm
Poked and sorted and shoved
G
Some were one desk
away from sweet freedom
F
G
Some were torn from someone
C
they love
Through this sprawling Tower of Babel
F
Came a young man,
Em
Dm
confused and alone
G
Determined and bound for America
F
G
And carrying all that he owned
C
Verse 2
F
Sometimes when I looked in my
C
grandfather's immigrant eyes
G
I saw that day reflected and I couldn't
C
hold my feelings inside
F
I saw started with nothing
C
and working hard all of his life
G
"So don't take it for granted,"
C
said grandfather's immigrant eyes

Verse 3
C
He would rock and stare out the window
F

Dm
But his eyes are still just as clear
G
As the day he sailed through the Harbor
F

And come ashore on that island
C
of tears
My grandfather's days were numbered
F
Em
Dm
But I won't let his memory die
G
'Cause he gave me
the gift of this country
F
G
And the look in his immigrant eyes
