Sean Hayes

Isle Of Hope

by Sean Hayes
Sean Hayes

Biography:

Sean Hayes (born Sean Padrick Hayes on August 27, 1969, in New York city) is an American singer-songwriter. He began playing traditional American and Irish music with a band called the Boys of Bluehill.

Much like the man himself, Hayes' musical sensibilities defy easy categorization. Just because there's a banjo featured in a track, don't expect it to sound Appalachian -- and certainly don't expect that recurring tuba to have anything to do with Sousa and his severely metered marches.

D A G D D A G D

D A G D
On the first day of January, eighteen ninety-two,
G D Em A
they opened Ellis Island and they let the people through.
D A G D
And the first to cross the threshold, of that isle of hope and tears,
G D Em A A7
was Annie Moore from Ireland, who was all of fifteen years.

Chorus:
G A D Bm
Isle of hope, isle of tears, isle of freedom, isle of fears,
G Em A A7
but it's not the isle you left behind.
G A D Bm
That isle of hunger, isle of pain, isle you'll never see again,
G A D
but the isle of home is always on your mind.


D A G D
In a little bag she carried, all her past and history,
G D Em A
and her dreams for the future, in the land of liberty.
D A G D
And courage is the passport, when your old world disappears,
G D Em A
but there's no future in the past, when you're all of fifteen years.


Chorus:


G - Em - Em - A - D


D A G D
When they closed down Ellis Island, in 1943,
G D Em A
seventeen million people had come there for sanctuary.
D A G D
And in Springtime when I came here, and I stepped onto it’s piers,
G D Em A A7
I thought of how it must have hurt, when you're only fifteen years.
