Verse 1
G

Oh well,

a siren was swarming
D
C
G
Am

Like a scene from a costume ball
D

Alive with the colors of Europe
C
D
G

And on fire with the hope of it all

There my father's own

father stood huddled
D
C
G

With the tired and the hungry
Bm
Am

and the scared
D

Churn of the century pilgrims,
C
D
G
D
G

bound by the dream they shared.

They were standing in line

just like cattle,
C
G
Am

poked and sordid and shod.
D

Some were one desk away
Am
D

from sweet freedom,
C
D

Some were torn from someone
G

they loved.
D
G

Through the sprawling tower of Babel
C

Stood a young man con
G
Bm
Am

fused and alone,
D

Determined and bound for America,
C
D

carrying everything that
G

he owned.
C

Sometimes when I look in my
G

grandfather's immigrant eyes,
D

I see that day reflected,
Am
D
G

and I can't hold my feelings inside.
C
G

I see starting with nothing
C

and working hard all of his life.

So don't take it for granted,

Now he rocks and he

stares out the window,

but his eyes are still just as clear

as the day he sailed through the harbor
C

and came ashore on the Island of Tears.

Now my grandfather's

days are numbered,

but I won't let his memory die

Cause he gave me the gift of this country

and the look in his im migrant eyes

Sometimes when I look in my

I see starting with nothing

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
