Verse 1
(A minor) (C major) The crops are all in
and the (F major) peaches are (C major) rotten
The oranges are piled
in (F major) their creosote dumps (C major)
They're (F major) flying them back
to the (C major) Mexican borders (A minor)
To (C major) pay all their money
to (F major) wait back again (C major)
Goodbye (F major) to my Juan, goodbye (C major) Rosalita
Adi (G major) os mis amigos, Jesus (C major) and Maria
You (F major) won't have a name
when you ride (C major) the big airplane (A minor)
And (C major) all they will call you will be (F major) D14 (C major)
My father's own father,
he (F major) waded that river (C major)
They took all the money
he made (F major) in his life (C major)
My (F major) brothers and sisters,
they work (C major) in the fruit trees (A minor)
They rode (C major) on the trucks
till they (F major) took down and (C major) died (F major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor) (C major) (F major) (C major)
Well, some of us are illegal
and (F major) some are not (C major) wanted
Our work contract's out
and we have (F major) to move (C major) on
600 (F major) miles to that (C major) Mexican border
They (A minor) chase (C major) us like outlaws,
like (F major) wrestlers in (C major) theme
Goodbye (F major) to my Juan, goodbye (C major) Rosalita
Adi (G major) os mis amigos, Jesus (C major) and Maria
You (F major) won't have a name
when you ride (C major) the big airplane (A minor)
And (C major) all they will call you
will be (F major) deportee (C major)
We died in your hills
and (F major) we died on your (C major) deserts.
We died in your mountains,
we died (F major) on your (C major) plains.
We died (F major) neath your trees
and we died (C major) in your bushes (A minor)
Both sides (C major) of the river,
we (F major) died just the (C major) same (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (F major) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) (F major) (C major)
A skyplane caught fire
over Los (F major) Gatos Canyon (C major)
A fireball of lightning
that (F major) shook all our (C major) hills
Who (F major) are these friends
all scattered (C major) like dry (A minor)
The (C major) ra dio says they are (F major) just deportees (C major)
Goodbye (F major) to my one,
good (C major) bye Rosalita
Adios (G major) mis amigos, Jesus (C major) and Maria
You won't (F major) have a name
when (C major) you ride the big airplane (A minor)
And (C major) all they will call you will be (F major)
(C major) De portee
Is this the best way
we can grow (F major) our big (C major) orchards?
Is this the best way
we can grow (F major) our good fruit? (C major)
To fall (F major) like dry leaves and
(C major) rot on the topsoil (A minor)
And (C major) be known by no name
ex (F major) cept Deportee
(C major) Goodbye (F major) to my Juan,
goodbye (C major) Rosalita
Adios (G major) mis amigos Jesus (C major) and Maria
You won't (F major) have a name
when you (C major) ride the big airplane (A minor)
And (C major) all they will call you will be (F major)

And all they will call you will (F major) be
(C major) Deportee you
