_ _ On the first day [G] of _ January, [Am] _ _ _ [C] 1892,
_ _ [F] They opened [Dm] Ellis Island, and [F] they let the people [G]
through.
_ [C] And the first to cross the [G] _
threshold [Am] of that Isle of Oak [C] and Tears
[F] Was Annie Moore [Dm] from Ireland, _ [F] who was all of fifteen [G] _
_ years.
_ _ [C] _ [F] Isle of Hope, Isle [G] of Tears, Isle [C] of Freedom, [G] Isle [Am] of Fears,
[Dm] But it's not the Isle [F] you left _ [G]
behind.
_ _ _ [C] That [F] Isle of Humber, Isle of [G] Pain, Isle [C] you'll never [G] see [Am] again,
_ [Dm] But the Isle of [G] Home is always on [F] your mind.
_ [C] _ _ _ In her little bag [G] she carried _ [Am] all her past and [C] history,
_ _ [F] And her dreams [Dm] for the future _ [F] in the land of [G] liberty.
_ _ [C] And courage is [G] the passport when [Am] your whole world _ [C] disappears,
_ [F] Because there's no future [Dm] in the past [F] when you're only fifteen [G] _ _ years. _
_ [C] _ [F] Isle of Hope, Isle of [G]
Tears, Isle [C] of Freedom, [G] Isle [Am] of Fears,
[Dm] But it's not the Isle [F] you left _ [G] behind. _ _ _
[C] That Isle [F] of Humber, Isle [G] of Pain, Isle [C] you'll never [G] see [Am]
again,
_ [Dm] But the Isle of [G] Home is always on [F] your mind.
_ [C] _
_ When they closed down [G] Ellis Island _ [Am] in _ _ [C] 1943,
_ _ _ [F] Seventeen million [Dm]
people had come [F] there for [G] sanctuary.
_ And [C] in springtime when I [G]
came here [Am] and I stepped onto its [C] _
piers,
[F] I thought of how it [Dm]
must have been when you're [F] only fifteen [G] _
_ years.
_ _ [C] _ [F] Isle of Hope, Isle [G] of Tears, Isle [C] of Freedom, [G] Isle of [Am] _ Fears,
[Dm] But it's not the Isle you [F] left _ [G] _
behind.
_ _ [C] That Isle [F] of Humber, Isle of [G] Pain, Isle [C] you'll never [G] see [Am] again,
But [Dm] the Isle of Home [G] is always on [F] your _ mind.
