Verse 1
A
Oh, Ellis Island was swarming
D
C#m
Bm
Like a scene from a costume ball
E
Decked out in the colors of Europe
D
E
A
And on fire with the hope of it all
There my father's own father
stood huddled
D
C#m
Bm
With the tired and hungry and scared
E
Turn of the century pilgrims
D
E
A
Bound by the dream that they shared
They were standing in line just like cattle
D
C#m
Bm
Poked and sorted and shoved
away from sweet freedom
D
E
Some were torn from someone
Through this sprawling Tower of Babel
C#m
Bm
confused and alone
E
Determined and bound for America
D
E
And carrying all that he owned
A
Verse 2
D
Sometimes when I looked in my
A
grandfather's immigrant eyes
E
I saw that day reflected and I couldn't
A
hold my feelings inside
D
I saw started with nothing
A
and working hard all of his life
E
"So don't take it for granted,"
A
said grandfather's immigrant eyes

Verse 3
A
He would rock and stare out the window
D
C#m
Bm
But his eyes are still just as clear
E
As the day he sailed through the Harbor
D
E
And come ashore on that island
My grandfather's days were numbered
D
C#m
Bm
But I won't let his memory die
the gift of this country
D
E
And the look in his immigrant eyes
