VERSE 2
In the middle of the night there you stand with your lamp held high and burning bright
In the middle of the night there you stand by the golden door and shine your light
I'm tired, hungry; yearning to breathe free
won't you hold me now; Lady Liberty
In the middle of the night
| G C/A | G/B C/A | G C/A | G/B C/A |
"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
| G C/A | G/B C/A | G C/A | G/B C/A |
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me.
| G C/A | G/B C/A | A7 C | D7 D7 |
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
| G C/A | G/B C/A | G C/A | G/B C/A |
In the middle of the night; In the middle of the night
