[D] On the [G] first [A] day of January, [Bm] [G] [D]
1892, [G] they opened their [Em] discipline [G] and they led the people [A] through.
[D] And the first to cross the [A] threshold [G] of [Bm] that [G] Isle of [D] Hope and Tears [G] was Annie [Em] Moore from Ireland, [G] who was all of [A] fifteen [D] years.
[A] [D] Isle [G]
of Hope, [A] Isle of Tears, [D] Isle of Freedom, [A] [Bm] Isle of Fears, [G] But it's not the [Em] Isle you left [A]
behind.
[D] [A] [D] That [G] Isle of Hunger, [A] Isle of Pain, [D] Isle you'll never [A] see [Bm] again, [G] But the Isle of Hope [A] is [Em] always on your [G] mind.
[D] In her little bag she carried [G] all [Bm] her [E] past and [D] history, [G] And her dreams [Em] for the future [G] in the land of [A] liberty.
[D] And courage is [A] the passport [G] [Bm] when your old world [D] disappears, [G] Cause there's no future [Em] in the [G] past when you're fifteen [A] [D] [A] years.
[D] Isle [G] of Hope, [A] Isle of Tears, Isle [D] of Freedom, [A] [Bm] Isle of Fears, [G] But it's not the Isle [Em] you left [A] behind.
[D] [Am]
[D] That [G] Isle of Hunger, [A] Isle of Pain, [D] Isle you'll never [A] [Bm] see again, [G] But the Isle of Hope [A] is always [G] on your mind.
[D] When they closed [G] down [A] Ellis Island [D] [Bm] in [E]
[D] 1943, [G] Seventeen million [Em] people [G] had come there for [A]
sanctuary.
And [D] in springtime when [A] I came [D] here [Bm] and I stepped onto [D]
its piers, [G] I thought of how [Em] it must have [G] been when you were fifteen [A] years.
[D] Isle [G] of Hope, Isle [A] of Tears, Isle [D] of Freedom, [A] [Bm] Isle of Fears, [G] But it's not the [Em] Isle you left [A] behind.
[D] That [G] Isle of Hunger, Isle of [A] Pain, Isle [D] you'll never [C#m] [Bm] see again,
[G] But the Isle of [A] Hope is always on [G] your mind.
