    • Verse 1
    Oh 
    Ellis 
    Island 
    was 
    swarming 

    Like 
    a 
    scene 
    from 
    a cos
    tume 
    hall 

    Decked 
    out 
    in 
    the colors 
    in 
    Europe 

    And on 
    fire 
    with 
    the 
    hope 
    of 
    it all 

    Verse 2
    There stood 
    my 
    father's 
    own 

    father 
    stood 
    huddled 

    With 
    the 
    tired 
    and hungry 
    and scared 

    Turn 
    of 
    the 
    century 
    pilgrims 

    Bound 
    by the 
    dream 
    that 

    they shared 

    Verse 3

    They were 
    standing 
    in 

    lines 
    just 
    like cattle 

    Poked 
    and prodded 
    and 

    shoved 

    Some 
    were 
    one 
    desk 
    away 

    from 
    sweet 
    freedom 

    Some 
    were were 
    torn 
    from 

    someone 
    they 
    love 

    Verse 4
    Through 
    this 
    sprawling 
    tower 
    of babel 

    Came 
    a 
    young 
    man 
    con
    fused 
    and 
    alone 

    De
    termined 
    and 
    bound 

    for 
    America 

    And carryin' 
    everything 

    that he 
    owned 

    Verse 5
    [Chorus] 

    Sometimes 
    when I 
    look 
    in my 

    grandfather's 
    Immigrant 
    Eye
    s 

    I 
    see 
    that 
    day 
    reflected 
    and 

    I can't 
    hold 
    my 
    feelings 
    in
    side 

    I 
    see starting 
    with 
    nothing 

    and working 
    hard 
    all 
    of 
    his 
    life 

    So 
    don't 
    take 
    it for 
    granted 
    say 
    grandfather's 

    Immigrant 




    Eyes 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    Now 
    he rocks 
    and 
    stares 
    out 
    the window 

    But 
    his 
    eyes 
    are still 
    just 
    as clear 

    As 
    the 
    day 
    he 
    sailed 
    through 

    the harbor 

    And come 
    ashore 
    on 
    the 
    island 
    of 
    tears 

    Verse 7
    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 Immigrant 
    Eyes

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
