Intro
E
[Chorus]
B
I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
E B
Never heard her welcoming words
F# B
I came through the back door, silently
F# B
Unwanted, unseen and unheard
[Verse 1]
C#m F# B
I know I'm lonely in this country
C#m F# B
I think I always have been
C#m F# B
I knew as a child I'd leave Ireland
C#m F#
The goodbyes were ghosts in the wind
[Verse 2]
E F# B
G# dream handed down in my family
E F# B
Uncle Pat and Aunt Han before him
C#m7 F# B
And over the radio to haunt me
C#m B
All the songs they sang were of leaving
[Chorus]
E F# B
I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
E F# B
Never heard her welcoming words
C#m F# B
I came through the back door, silently
F# B
Unwanted, unseen and unheard
[Verse 3]
C#m F# B
I don't mind hard work for a living
C#m F# B
There's so much I'm able to do
C#m F# B
I can't spend my life as a "live-in"
C#m F#
With nothing to look forward to
[Verse 4]
E F# B
I want my own bed, my own kitchen
E F# B
I want my nights to myself
C#m7 F# B
I don't want to hide underground anymore
C#m B
If it means that I hide from myself
[Bridge]
E F# B ~ G#m
"Give me your poor, your tired and your hungry
C#m7 F# B
The exiles of your teaming shores"
C#m F#
Words carved deep in stone
B G#m
And in the hearts back at home
B F# B
But not meant for the living anymore
[Instrumental]
C#m F# B ~ G#m C#m F# B
[Verse 5]
C#m F# B
I'm a long time out by the back door
C#m F# B
G# long time passing unseen
C#m F# B ~ G#m
The voices that haunt me are harsh now
C#m F#
Confuse me and urge me to leave
[Verse 6]
E F# B ~ G#m
But I claim the promise of this country
E F# B G#m
And I have the right to my own dream
C#m7 F# B ~ G#m
And no one can take that away from me
C#m B
If I have half a chance here, I'm not leaving
[Chorus]
E F# B ~ G#m
I didn't see the Statue of Liberty
E F# B
Never heard her welcoming words
C#m F# B
I came through the back door, silently
F# B
Unwanted, unseen and unheard
F# B
Unwanted, unseen and unheard
