Goodbye, my one, goodbye, Rosalita,
D
G
adios, mis amigos, Jesus and Maria.
C
You won't have a name
G
when you ride the big aeroplane
C
G
All they will call you will be deportee
His father's own father
C
G
waded the river
They took all of the money
C
he'd made in his life
G
C
G
His brothers and sisters came a
-workin' the fruit trees.
They rode in the truck
C
G
till they took sick and died.
Now some were illegal,
C
G
Some were not wanted,
their work was done,
C
G
and they had to move on.
C
Six hundred miles to the
G
Mexican border,
C
G
chased as if they were outlaws
C
G
Goodbye my one, goodbye
D
G
Rosalita, adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria,
C
it won't have a name
G
When you ride the big aeroplane
C
G
All they will call you will be deportee
They died in our hills
C
G
They died in our deserts
They died in our valleys,
C
G
they died on our plains
C
They died beneath our trees,
G
and they died in our bushes
Both sides of the river,
C
G
they died just the same
The sky plane caught fire
C
G
over Los Gatos Canyon
C
G
A fireball of lightning shook all our hills
C
Who are these friends
G
all scattered like dry leaves?
C
G
The radio said they were just deportees
C
G
Goodbye my one, goodbye Rosalita
D
G
Adios mis amigos, Jesus and Maria
C
You won't have a name
G
when you ride the big airplane
All they will call you will be
C
G
Deportee
Is this the best way
C
G
we grow our big orchids?
Is this the best way
C
G
we grow our good fruits?
C
G
To fall like dry leaves, to rot on our topsoil
And be known by no name
C
G
except deportees
The crops are all in,
C
G
the peaches are rotting
The oranges burned in their
C
G
creole salt dumps
C
G
We flew them back to the Mexican border
No money is needed,
C
G
they'll never wade back
C
G
Goodbye my Juan, goodbye Rosalita

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
