[B] Isle of Hope, [C#] Isle of Tears, [F#] Isle of Freedom, [D#m] Isle of Fears,

[B] But the Isle of Hope [C#] is always [F#] on my mind.
In a little bag she carried all her past and history,
[B] And her dreams [F#] for the future [G#m] in the land of [C#] liberty.
[F#] And courage hears the passport [B] when your own world [F#] disappears,
But there's no future in the past [G#m] when you're only [C#] fifteen years.

[B] Seventeen million [F#] people had [G#m] come there for [C#] sanctuary.
[F#] And in springtime when I came here and [B] I stepped up on [F#] its piers,
