Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) Crops are all (C major) in
and the (D major) peach trees are (G major) rotting
And the oranges are piled
(C major) in (D major) the crystal dumps (G major)
Well, you're flying them back (C major)
to the (D major) Mexican border (G major)
to pay off their (C major) money to
wait (D major) back (G major) again.
Goodbye (D major) to you, Juan,
and goodbye, (G major) Rosalita.
Goodbye, (D major) mi amigo, Jesus (G major) and Maria.
You won't have (C major) a name
when (D major) you fly the big (G major) airplane
And all they will (C major) call you is
(D major) just deportee (G major) (D major) (G major)
My father's (C major) own father,
he (D major) waded that river
(G major) Well, they took all (C major) the money
that he (D major) made in his life (G major)
My sisters and (C major) brothers came
(D major) workin' the fruit (G major) tree
And they rode in the (C major) truck
till they (D major) took down and (G major) died
Good (D major) -bye to you home, good (G major) -bye
Rosalita, good -bye (D major) mi amigo
Jesus (G major) and Maria.
You won't have a (C major) name
when (D major) you fly the (G major) big airplane,
For all they will (C major) call you is (D major) just a de (G major) portee
Now some of us are il (C major) legal
and (D major) some are not (G major) wanted
Our work contract's (C major) out
and we've (D major) got to move (G major) on
600 miles (C major) to the (D major) Mexican bor (G major) der
They chase us like (C major) outlaws,

and we (D major) died in your deserts
(G major) And we died in your valley (C major) s,
and we died (D major) on your plain (G major)
We died neath your (C major) trees,
and (D major) we died neath the (G major) bushes
Both sides of the (C major) river,
we died (D major) just the (G major) same
(D major) Goodbye to you Juan,

The skyplane caught (C major) fire
over (D major) Los Gatos Canyon (G major)
A fireball of (C major) lightning shook (D major) all our (G major) hills
Who are all those (C major) people
scattered (D major) like dry (G major) leaves?
Well, radio says (C major) you're (D major) just deportees (G major)
Is this the best way
(C major) we (D major) can grow our big (G major) orchards?
Is this the best (C major) way
we can (D major) grow our good (G major) fruit?
To fall like (C major) dry leaves
and (D major) rot on your top (G major) soil
And be called by (C major) no name
ex (D major) cept for (G major) tears
Goodbye (D major) to you,
I'm goodbye, (G major) Rosal (G major) ita
(G major) Goodbye, (D major) mi amigo, Jesús (G major) and Maria
You won't have a (C major) name
when you ride (D major) the big (G major) airplane
For all them who (D major) call you,
they'll be deportees (G major)
