F [Chorus] C I didn't see the Statue of Liberty F C Never heard her welcoming words G C I came through the back door, silently G C Unwanted, unseen and unheard [Verse 1] Dm G C I know I'm lonely in this country Dm G C I think I always have been Dm G C I knew as a child I'd leave Ireland Dm G The goodbyes were ghosts in the wind [Verse 2] F G C A dream handed down in my family F G C Uncle Pat and Aunt Han before him Dm7 G C And over the radio to haunt me Dm C All the songs they sang were of leaving [Chorus] F G C I didn't see the Statue of Liberty F G C Never heard her welcoming words Dm G C I came through the back door, silently G C Unwanted, unseen and unheard [Verse 3] Dm G C I don't mind hard work for a living Dm G C There's so much I'm able to do Dm G C I can't spend my life as a "live-in" Dm G With nothing to look forward to [Verse 4] F G C I want my own bed, my own kitchen F G C I want my nights to myself Dm7 G C I don't want to hide underground anymore Dm C If it means that I hide from myself [Bridge] F G C ~ Am "Give me your poor, your tired and your hungry Dm7 G C The exiles of your teaming shores" Dm G Words carved deep in stone C Am And in the hearts back at home C G C But not meant for the living anymore [Instrumental] Dm G C ~ Am Dm G C [Verse 5] Dm G C I'm a long time out by the back door Dm G C A long time passing unseen Dm G C ~ Am The voices that haunt me are harsh now Dm G Confuse me and urge me to leave [Verse 6] F G C ~ Am But I claim the promise of this country F G C Am And I have the right to my own dream Dm7 G C ~ Am And no one can take that away from me Dm C If I have half a chance here, I'm not leaving [Chorus] F G C ~ Am I didn't see the Statue of Liberty F G C Never heard her welcoming words Dm G C I came through the back door, silently G C Unwanted, unseen and unheard G C Unwanted, unseen and unheard
