Verse 1
(D major) I'd like to do a song this time.
Very, very few songs that I do that are not
Irish.
But this one is one of the exceptions,
one of the few exceptions. (G major)
It's (D major) a song written by the late, great
Woody
Guthrie about man's
inhumanity to man.
About the fruit pickers coming from
Mexico to pick the fruit in
California.
It's a beautiful song.
It's called deportees (G major) (D major) (G major) (D major)
The crops are all in the (G major) peaches
they're (D major) gathered
Oranges packed in their
(A major) creosote (D major) bins
They're (G major) flying them back to the
Mexican (D major) border
It will take all their money
to get (A major) back again (D major)
So farewell (G major) to my friends, good (D major) bye
Rosalita
Adios (A major) mis amigos, you're (D major) the same
Maria
You won't (G major) have a name when
you fly (D major) the big aeroplane
All (A major) they will call you will be deportees (D major)
The sky plane could fire over
Los (G major)
Gabes
Canyon (D major)
The fireball lit up, it (A major) shook the hills (D major) round
Oh, (G major) who are most friends who
are scattered (D major) like dry leaves
The radio said they were just (A major) deportees (D major)
So farewell (G major) to my friends, good (D major) bye
Rosalita
Adios (A major) mis amigos, you're (D major) the same
Maria
You (G major) won't have a name when
you (D major) fly the big aeroplane
All (A major) they will call you will be deportees (D major)
Is this the best way to till (G major)
our good (D major) orchards?
Is this the best way we can
grow (A major) our good fruit? (D major)
To lie (G major) on the ground and to
(D major) rot beneath the topsoil
And never know no name
except (A major) deportee (D major)
So farewell (G major) to my friends, good (D major) bye
Rosalito
Adi (A major) os, mis amigos, you're (D major) the same
Maria
You (G major) won't have a name when
you fly (D major) the big airplane
All (A major) they will call you will
be deportees (D major)
Some of us were illegal and
some (G major) were not (D major) wanted
Our work contracts finished,
we've (A major) got to move (D major) on
It's (G major) six hundred miles to the
Mexican (D major) border
They chase us like rustlers, like (A major) outlaws,
like thieves (D major)
So farewell (G major) to my friends, good (D major) bye
Rosalitas
Adios, (A major) mis amigos
You're (D major) the same,
You (G major) won't have a name
When you (D major) fly the big airplane
All (A major) they will call you
Will be deportee (G major)
(D major) Thank you very much.
