Verse 1
a siren was swarming
D
C
G
Am
Like a scene from a costume ball
D
Alive with the colors of Europe
C
D
G
And on fire with the hope of it all
There my father's own
father stood huddled
D
C
G
With the tired and the hungry
Bm
Am
and the scared
D
Churn of the century pilgrims,
C
D
G
D
G
bound by the dream they shared.
They were standing in line
just like cattle,
C
G
Am
poked and sordid and shod.
D
Some were one desk away
Am
D
from sweet freedom,
C
D
Some were torn from someone
D
G
Through the sprawling tower of Babel
G
Bm
Am
fused and alone,
D
Determined and bound for America,
C
D
carrying everything that
G
D
G
he owned.
C
Sometimes when I look in my
G
grandfather's immigrant eyes,
D
I see that day reflected,
Am
D
G
and I can't hold my feelings inside.
C
G
I see starting with nothing
C
G
and working hard all of his life.
D
So don't take it for granted,
D
G

emigrant fathers
C
D
G
Now he rocks and he
stares out the window,
D
C
G
Am
but his eyes are still just as clear
D
as the day he sailed through the harbor
C
D
and came ashore on the Island of Tears.
G
D
G
Now my grandfather's
days are numbered,
D
C
G
Am
but I won't let his memory die
D
Am
D
Cause he gave me the gift of this country
C
D
G
and the look in his im migrant eyes
C
Sometimes when I look in my
G
grandfather's immigrant eyes
D
I see that day reflected
G
and I can't hold my feelings inside
C
I see starting with nothing
D
No, don't take it for granted,
C
D
say Grandfather's Immigrant
