  • Verse 1
    This next 
    song 
    I'm going to sing is 
    an old song, 

    not too old. 

    I sang it on 
    the 

    Midnight 

    Special on that 

    NBC 
    thing, and it 
    never 
    got on the air. 

    never released it. 
    I don't think it 

    was the song itself. 

    It was probably 
    the 
    introduction, 

    you know. 

    Well, 
    before 
    I sang the song, 
    I said, 

    I was talking about 
    little kids, 

    Because 
    I got some. 

    And 
    I was saying, 
    must be strange 
    to grow up 

    in this 
    country and 
    not know 
    what a grape 

    looks 
    like. 

    Doesn't 
    sound too 
    subversive, 

    right? 

    Doesn't 
    mean 
    nothing. 

    Kicked 
    it off 
    the air 
    though. 

    The 
    crops 
    are 
    all in, 
    the 
    peaches 
    are 
    rot
    ting, 

    the 
    oranges 
    are 
    piled 
    in 
    their 
    creosote 
    dump. 

    They're 
    flyin' 
    you back 
    to the 

    Mexico 
    border

    To 
    pay all 
    your 
    money 
    to 
    wait 
    back 
    again 

    My 
    father's 
    own 
    father, 

    he 
    waded 
    that 
    river

    They 
    took all 
    the 
    money 
    he 
    made 
    in his 
    life 

    My 
    broth
    ers 
    and 
    sisters 
    come 

    work
    ing 
    the 
    fruit 
    trees 

    And 
    they 
    rode 
    the 
    trucks 
    till they 

    took 
    down 
    and 
    died 

    Goodbye 
    to 
    my 

    Juan, 
    good
    bye

    You

    have

    when 

    you

    all 
    they 
    will 
    call 
    you 

    will 
    be 
    de
    portees 

    Some 
    of 
    us are 
    illegal 
    and 

    others 
    not 
    wanted 

    Our 
    work contract's 
    out 

    and we 
    have 
    to 
    move 
    on 

    Six 
    hundred 
    miles 
    to the 

    Mex
    ico 
    border

    They 
    chase 
    us like 
    out
    laws, 

    like 
    rust
    lers 
    and 
    thieves 

    We've 
    died 
    in your 
    hills 
    and we've 

    died 
    on 
    your 
    deserts 

    We've 
    died 
    in your 
    val
    leys, 

    we've died 
    on 
    your 
    plain

    We've 
    died 
    in 
    your 
    trees 
    and 

    we've 
    died 
    in 
    your 
    bushes 

    Both 
    sides 
    of the 
    river, 

    we've 
    died 
    just 
    the 
    same 

    Goodbye

    The 
    sky plane 
    caught 
    fire 
    over 

    Los 

    Gatos 

    Canyon 

    Like 
    fireball 
    of 
    light
    ning, 

    it 
    shook all 
    our 
    hills 

    And 
    who 
    are 
    these 
    friends, 
    oh, 

    scattered 
    like 
    dried 
    leaves 

    The 
    radio 
    says 
    they are 
    just 
    de
    portees 

    Is 
    this the 
    best 
    way 
    we can 

    grow 
    our 
    big orchards? 

    Is 
    this 
    the best 
    way 
    we 
    can 

    grow 
    our 
    good fruit? 

    To fold 
    like 
    dry 
    leaves 
    and 

    to rot on 
    your top
    soil 

    And 
    be known 
    by no 
    name 

    except 
    deportees 

    Goodbye

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • 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

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
