Verse 1
(G major) (D major) (G major) The crops are all in
and the (C major) peaches are (G major) rottening
The oranges are piled
in their (D major) creosote (G major) dumps
You're flying (C major) them back
to the (G major) Mexican border
It takes all their money
to (D major) wait back again (G major)
Goodbye (C major) to my one, goodbye (G major) Rosalita
Adi (D major) os, (A minor) mis ami (D major) gos, (G major) Jesús y María
You won't (C major) have a name
when you (G major) ride the big airplane
All they will call you will (D major) be
deportees (G major) (D major) (G major)
My father's own father,
he waded (C major) that (G major) river
They took all the money
he made (D major) in his (G major) life
My sisters (C major) and brothers
come (G major) work in the fruit fields
Rode that truck till they went (D major)
down an (G major) d died (C major)
(G major) Some of us are illegal
and (C major) others not (G major) wanted
Our work contract's out
and we (D major) have to move (G major) on
600 (C major) miles to that (G major) Mexican border (D major) (G major)
They chase us like rustlers,
like (D major) outlaws, like (G major) thieves
Goodbye (C major) to my Juan,
good (G major) bye Rosalita (D major) (G major)
You won't (C major) have a name
when you ride (G major) the big airplane
For all they will call you will
(D major) be deportees (G major)
The skyplane caught fire over
Los (C major) Gatos Canyon (G major)
A fireball of lightning
and shook (D major) all our (G major) hills
Who are (C major) all these dear friends
all (G major) scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says they are just (D major) deportees (G major)
Is this the best way
we can (C major) raise our good (G major) archers?
Is this the best way
we can grow (D major) our good (G major) crops?
To die (C major) and be scattered,
to (G major) rot on the topsoil
To be called by no name
ex (D major) cept deportee (G major)
Good (C major) bye to my one, (G major) goodbye Rosalita
Adios (D major) mis amigos, (G major) Jesus y Maria
You won't (C major) have a name
when you (G major) ride the big airplane
All they will call you will (D major) be deportees
