Verse 1
C 
F 
I pity the poor immigrant who
G 
Em 
C 
wishes he'd stayed at home
F 
Uses all his power to do evil,
G 
C 
in the end is always left so alone
Am 
Em 
That man who with his fingers cheats
F 
C 
who lies with every breath
F 
Who passionately hates his life and
G 
Em 
C 
likewise fears his death
F 
I pity the poor immigrant
G 
C 
whose strength is spent in vain
F 
Whose heaven is like ironsides,
G 
C 
G 
C 
and whose tears are like the rain
Am 
Em 
Who eats but is not sat isfied,
F 
C 
who hears but does not see
F 
Who falls in love with wealth itself and
G 
C 
F 
G 
C 
turns his back on me
F 
G 
I pity the poor immigrant who tramples
C 
through the mud
F 
G 
Who fills his mouth with laughing and who
C 
builds his town with blood
Am 
Em 
Whose vision in the end
F 
C 
must shatter like a glass
F 
G 
I pity the poor immigrant when his gladness
C 
comes to pass
