SONG: THE IMMIGRANT ARTIST: NEIL SEDAKA TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] INTRO: Eb/F F Eb/F F VERSE:
Eb/F                                             F
Harbours open their arms to the young searching foreigner

Eb/F                                        F
Come to live in the light of the beacon of liberty

 Bb
Plains and open skies

 Am                   Dm
Billboards would advertise

       F              Gm   C          F
Was it anything like that when you arrived?
PRE-CHORUS:
 Cm                                              F
Dream boats carried the future to the heart of America

 Cm                                     F
People were waiting in line for a place by the river
CHORUS:
 F                   Am                    Gm  Bb
It was a time when strangers were welcome here

 F                     Am                    Gm         C
Music would play they tell me the days were sweet and clear

          Am          D
It was a sweeter tune

              Bb      Bb Bbm
And there was so much ro-om

      F            Bb              F    C F
That people could come from everywhere
VERSE:
Eb/F                                                F
Now he arrives with his hopes and his heart set on miracles

Eb/F                                            F
Come to marry his fortune with a hand full of promises

    Bb
To find they've closed the door

           Am          Dm
They don't want him anymore

       Gm        Bb           F
There isn't any more to go around
PRE-CHORUS:
 Cm                                        F
Turning away he remembers he once heard a legend

      Cm                                       F
That spoke of a mystical magical land called America
