I was driving down Ninth Avenue
Am
G
F
C
As the sky was getting dark
Am
G
F
C
Didn't have nothin' else to do
Am
G
F
C
So I kept on riding to Battery Park
Am
G
F
C
I stepped out in the damp and misty night
Am
G
F
C
As the fog was rollin' in
Am
G
F
C
Man said, "Last boat leaving tonight
Am
G
F
C
Is the boat for Ellis Island

Am

As my feet touched solid ground,
Am
G
F
C
I felt a chill run down my spine
Am
G
F
C
I could almost hear the sound
Am
G
F
C
Of thousands pushing through the lines
Am
G
F
C
Mothers and bewildered wives
Am
G
F
C
That sailed across the raging sea
Am
G
F
C
Others runnin' for their lives
Am
G
F
C
To the land of opportunity
Am
G
F
C
Oh down on Ellis Island
Bb
F
What is this strange paradise
Am
F
They must've wondered through the cries and moans
Bb
F
After all they sacrificed,
Gm
Bb
Am
F
C
Their faith, their families, friends and homes
Am
G
F
C
Then on the separation stairs
Am
G
F
C
They were counted out, or counted in
Am
G
F
C
Frozen while the inspector stared
Am
G
F
C
Down on Ellis Island
Am
G
F
C
Oh down on Ellis Island
Bb
F
Am
F
Who-o-oh yea-a-ah
Bb

Am
F
C
Am
G
F
C
Now me I only stumbled in
Am
G
F
C
Just to wander around that empty hall
Am
G
F
C
Where someone else's fate had been
Am
G
F
C
Decided in no time at all
Am
G
F
C
Cases filled with hats and clothes
Am
G
F
C
And the belongings of those who journeyed far
Am
G
F
C
They're strange reminders I suppose
Am
G
F
C
Of where we're from and who we are
Am
G
F
C
But as the boat pulled off the shore
Am
G
F
C
I could see the fog was lifting
Am
G
F
C
And lights I'd never seen before
Am
G
F
C
Were shining down on Ellis Island
Am
G
F
C
Shining down on Ellis Island
