On the first day of January 1892
F Dm G
They opened Ellis Island and they let the people through
C G/B F/A C/G
And the first to cross the threshold of that isle of hope and tears
F Dm G
Was Annie Moore from Ireland who was all of 15 years
[Chorus]
G/E F G
Isle of hope, isle of tears
C C/B Am
Isle of freedom, isle of fears
Dm F Gsus4 G
But it’s not the isle you left behind
G/E F G
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
C C/B Am
Isle you’ll never see again
F G Csus4 C
But the isle of home is always on your mind
[Verse]
C G/B F/A C/G
In a little bag, she carried all her past and history
F Dm G
And her dreams for the future in the land of liberty
C G/B F/A C/G
And courage is the passport when your old world disappears
F Dm G
But there’s no future in the past when you’re 15 years
[Chorus]
G/E F G
Isle of hope, isle of tears
C C/B Am
Isle of freedom, isle of fears
Dm F Gsus4 G
But it’s not the isle you left behind
G/E F G
That isle of hunger, isle of pain
C C/B Am
Isle you’ll never see again
F G Csus4 C
But the isle of home is always on your mind
[Instrumental]
