_ _ Old Dallas Island was swarming _ _ [C] Like a scene from a costume _ ball _
[D] _ Decked out in the colors of yule rob [C] On fire [Bm] with the hope [G] of it _ all
There my _ father's own father stood huddled _ _ [C] With the tired and the hungry and _ scared _
[D] The turn of the century _ _ _ pilgrims _ [C] Bound [G] by the dream that [G] they _ _ shared
_ _ _ _ _ _
They were standing in line just like cattle _ They [C] were poked and sworded and _ _ shoved
[D] Some were one desk away from sweet freedom _ _ [C] Some were torn [D] from someone [G] they _ loved _
Through the sprawling _ tower of Babel _ Came [C] a young man confused and alone _ _
_ [D] _ Determined and bound for America _ _
_ [C] Carrying _ [D] everything [G] that he _ owned
_ [C] Sometimes when I look in my _ grandfather's _ [G] emigrant _ eyes
I [D] see that day reflected I can't hold my feelings [G] _ inside _
I [C] see starting with nothing And working hard all [G] of his _ life _
[D] Don't take it for granted [C] Say _ _ [D] grandfather's [G] emigrant _ _ eyes
_ _ _ _ _ _
Now he rocks and he stares out the window _ _ [C] But his eyes are still just as clear _
As [D] the day that he sailed through the _ harbor _ [C] Came to shore [D] on the island [G] of tears _ _
My _ grandfather's days are numbered _ _ _ [C] But I won't let his memory _ _ die _
[D] For he gave me the gift of his country _ _
[C] And the look [D] in his [G] emigrant eyes _ _
[C] Sometimes _ when I look in my _ grandfather's _ [G] emigrant _ eyes _
[D] I see that day reflected I can't hold my feelings [G] _ inside _
I [C] see starting with nothing And working hard all [Em] of his _ [G] life _
[D] Don't take it for granted [C] Say _ [D] grandfather's _ [G] emigrant _ eyes _
[C] Sometimes _ when I look in my _ grandfather's [A] _
[G] emigrant _ eyes
I [D] see that day reflected I can't hold my feelings [G] _ inside _
I [C] see starting with nothing And working hard all of [Em] his _ [G] life _
[D] Don't take it for granted [C] Say _ [D] grandfather's _ [G] emigrant eyes _ _
[D] Don't take it for granted [C] Say _ [Bm] grandfather's _ [G] emigrant eyes _ _
