[Intro]
[Verse]
Em Am C B
There once were twin towers at the gates of the city In liberties shadow they said enter here
Em Am C Em
There once were twin towers at the gates of the city And in a nightmare they disappeared
Em Am C B
All the people of the world passed before them Thru Ellis island across the bay
Em Am C Em
In the land of giants you couldnt ignore them I cant believe they're gone today
[Chorus]
G Bm C Em
They rose up from the foot of Manhattan At the place where America began
C Bm C D
They rose up to meet the heavens They rose up for everyman
[Verse]
Em Am C Bm
There once were twin towers at the gates of the city In libertys shadow the said enter here
Em Am C Em
There once were twin towers at the gates of the city Now liberty herself will shed a tear
[Chorus]
G Bm C Em
They stood like in myth They stood like in fable they stood for the freedom we share to this day
C Bm C D
They stood for the lovers they stood for our labors We believed they'd always stand that way
Em
Stand that way
[Verse]
Em Am C B
And as the years pass into decades fear and hate cast a shroud on the land
Em Am C Em
Give us your tired Your poor huddled masses Give us hope Its all that we have
[Verse]
