Verse 1
A
The island, it is silent now
D
But the ghosts still haunt the waves
A
F#m
And the torch lights up a famished man
Bm
E
Who fortune could not save
A
Did you work upon the railroad
D
Did you rid the streets of crime
A
F#m
Were your dollars from the white house
E
A
Were they from the five and dime
Verse 2
F#m
Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
D
A
And did they still make you cry
F#m
Did you count the months and years
Bm
E
Or did your teardrops quickly dry
A
Ah, no, says he, 'twas not to be
D
On a coffin ship I came here
A
F#m
And I never even got so far
E
A
That they could change my name
Chorus 1
C#m
Thousands are sailing
E
Bm
Across the western ocean
F#m
A
To a land of opportunity
E
Bm
That some of them will never see
F#m
Fortune prevailing
E
Bm
Across the western ocean
F#m
A
Their bellies full, their spirits free
E
Bm
They'll break the chains of poverty
D
F#m
E
B
And they'll dance

Verse 3
A
In Manhattan's desert twilight
D
In the death of afternoon
A
F#m
We stepped hand in hand down Broadway
Bm
E
Like the first man on the moon
A
And "The Blackbird" broke the silence
D
As you whistled it so sweet
A
F#m
And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
E
A
I danced up and down the street
Verse 4
F#m
Then we said goodnight to Broadway
D
A
Giving it our best regards
F#m
Tipped our hats to mister Cohan
Bm
E
Dear old times square's favorite bard
A
Then we raised a glass to JFK
D
And a dozen more besides
A
F#m
When I got back to my empty room
E
A
I suppose I must have cried
Chorus 2
C#m
Thousands are sailing
E
Bm
Again across the ocean
F#m
A
Where the hand of opportunity
E
Bm
Draws tickets in a lottery
F#m
Postcards we're mailing
E
Bm
Of sky-blue skies and oceans
F#m
A
From rooms the daylight never sees
E
Bm
And lights don't glow on Christmas trees
D
And we dance to the music
F#m
E
B
And we dance

Where e'er we go, we celebrate
E
Bm
The land that makes us refugees
F#m
A
From fear of priests with empty plates
E
Bm
From guilt and weeping effigies
D
And we dance to the music
F#m
E
B
And we dance
