On the Dfirst day of AJanuary, Geighteen ninety-Dtwo, they Gopened Ellis DIsland and they Emlet the people tAhrough. And the fDirst to cross the tAhreshold, of that Gisle of hope and Dtears, was GAnnie Moore from DIreland, who was Emall of fifteen Ayears. A7
Chorus:
Isle of Ghope, isle of tAears, isle of Dfreedom, isle of fBmears, but it's Gnot the isle you Emleft behAind. A7 That isle of Ghunger, isle of Apain, isle you'll Dnever see agBmain, but the iGsle of home is Aalways on your Dmind.
In a Dlittle bag she Acarried, all her Gpast and histDory, and her Gdreams for the Dfuture, in the Emland of liberAty. And Dcourage is the pAassport, when your Gold world disapDpears, but Gthere's no future Din the past, when you're Emall of fifteen Ayears.
Chorus: G - Em - Em - A - D
When they Dclosed down Ellis AIsland, in G194D3, sGeventeen million pDeople had come tEmhere for sanctuAary. And in SDpringtime when I cAame here, and I Gstepped onto it’Ds piers, I thGought of how it Dmust have hurt, when you're Emonly fifteen yAears. A7
