Immigrant Eyes (Key Bb Capo 3rd Fret) Guy Clark

G 2 3 C 2 3 G 2 3 C 2 3
G
Old Ellis Island was swarming,
C Am
Like a scene from a costume ball,
D7
Decked out in the colors of Europe,
C D7 G
On fire with the hope of it all,
G
There my father's own father stood huddled
C Am
With the tired and the hungry and scared,
D7
The turn of the century pilgrims,
C D7 G
Bound by the dream that they shared 2 3 1 2
G
They were standing in line just like cattle,
C Am
They were poked and sorted and shoved;
D7
Some were one desk away from sweet freedom;
C D7 G
Some were torn from someone they loved.
G
Through this sprawling tower of Babel
C Am
Came a young man confused and a-lone
D7
De-termined and bound for America;
C D7 G
Carrying every-thing that he owned 2 3 1 2
Chorus
C G
Some-times when I look in my grandfather's immigrant eyes
D7 G
I see that day reflected and I can't hold my feelings in-side
C G
I see starting with nothing and working hard all of his life
D7 C D7 G
'Don't take it for granted' say Grandfather's immigrant eyes 2 3 1 2 3

G
Now he rocks and he stares out the window
C Am
But his eyes are still just as clear
D7
As the day he sailed into the harbor
C G
To land on the island of tears
G
My grandfather's days they are numbered
C Am
But I won't let his memory die
D7
For he gave me the gift of this country
C D7
And the look in his immigrant eyes 2 3 1 2
