[Intro] Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 [Verse]
         Fmaj7                    Am7
From the corner of my eye I see a tear rolling down

       Fmaj7                              Am7
At the time I couldn't tell whose tear it was

          Fmaj7                               Am7
If it was mine, I should be glad that I still function in this cage

            Fmaj7                   Am7        Fmaj7
But if it's yours, it only makes me more lost

                      Am7    Fmaj7
To see a tear rolling down

              G       F       C
To see a tear rolling down
[Chorus]

[Verse]
       Fmaj7                     Am7
I hear sweethearts whisper their undying love

          Fmaj7                        Am7
Above the noise on the quay, their voices rise

               Fmaj7                      Am7
They must have something so strong in the face of such change

              Fmaj7                   Am7    Fmaj7
That they can promise and promise all night

                  Am7    Fmaj7
Oh, their undying love

           G       F       C
Hear their undying love
[Chorus]

[Instrumental] Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 Am7 Fmaj7 G [Bridge]
C                     Dm7
Oh, what you wouldn't give

      Em          F          G     C
To be down on the pier once again

                  Dm7
Far away from the cries

        Em         F      G
Of these war-weary hordes

C                    Dm7
Time up there in the clouds

       Em         F
Must be hard to endure

    Em            Fmaj7 Am7  Fmaj7  Am7
When your heart's unsure___
[Verse]
            Fmaj7                          Am7
It's like a knife in my gut knowing you're taking leave

           Fmaj7                       Am7
I feel I'm sentenced to a death without appeal

         Fmaj7                               Am7
I can pretend it's all a dream, and what I'm seeing will disappear

        Fmaj7                   Am7    Fmaj7
But the end I can see is all too real

                      Am7    Fmaj7
Knowing you're taking leave

              G       F        C
Knowing you're taking leave
[Chorus]
        G        Am7 G                  C
This is the last call for Ellis Island

              G    Am7  G                        C G Am7 G
These are the last words I'm ever gonna hear you say_____

     C     G Am7 G
Goodbye, babe_____

      F          C
Goodbye, babe
[Chorus]
        G        Am7 G                  C
This is the last call for Ellis Island

              G    Am7  G                        C G Am7 G
