intro: Gm Gm - Gm Gm - F F - Cm Cm
Gm Gm - Bb Bb - F F - Cm Cm - Bb Bb

Bb Bb
The island it is silent now
Eb Eb
But the ghosts still haunt the waves
Bb Bb Gm Gm
And the torch lights up a famished man
Cm Cm F F
Who fortune could not save

Bb Bb
Did you work upon the railroad
Eb Eb
Did you rid the streets of crime
Bb Bb Gm Gm
Were your dollars from the white house
F F Bb Bb
Were they from the five and dime

Gm Gm
Did the old songs taunt or cheer you
Eb Eb Bb Bb
And did they still make you cry
Gm Gm
Did you count the months and years
Cm Cm F F
Or did your teardrops quickly dry

Bb Bb
Ah, no, says he, 'twas not to be
Eb Eb
On a coffin ship I came here
Bb Bb Gm Gm
And I never even got so far
F F Bb Bb
That they could change my name

Dm Dm
Thousands are sailing
F F Cm Cm
Across the western ocean
Bb Bb Gm Gm
To a land of opportunity
F F Cm Cm
That some of them will never see
Dm Dm
Fortune prevailing
F F Cm Cm
Across the western ocean
Gm Gm
Their bellies full
Bb Bb
Their spirits free
F F Cm Cm
They'll break the chains of poverty
Eb Eb Gm Gm F F Cm Cm Bb Bb-
And they'll dance

In Manhattan's desert twilight
In the death of afternoon
We stepped hand in hand on broadway
Like the first man on the moon

And "the blackbird" broke the silence
As you whistled it so sweet
And in Brendan Behan's footsteps
I danced up and down the street

Then we said goodnight to broadway
Giving it our best regards
Tipped our hats to mister Cohen
Dear old times square's favorite bard

Then we raised a glass to JFK
And a dozen more besides
When I got back to my empty room
I suppose I must have cried

Thousands are sailing
Again across the ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Postcards we're mailing
Of sky-blue skies and oceans
From rooms the daylight never sees
Where lights don't glow on Christmas trees
Eb Eb
But we dance to the music
Gm Gm F F Cm Cm X2
And we dance

Thousands are sailing
Across the western ocean
Where the hand of opportunity
Draws tickets in a lottery
Where e'er we go, we celebrate
The land that makes us refugees
From fear of priests with empty plates
From guilt and weeping effigies
And we dance

Half a tone lower sound better to me. Thanks anyway, good job and nice tab. :)
