Verse 1
(G major) Miguel came from a small

when Louis was just six (C major) teen
And found work (G major) together in the
fields (D major) of the San Joaquin

"My sons one thing you will learn, (C major)
For (G major) everything the north gives,
it exacts a price in (D major) return."
They worked side (G major) by side in the orchards
From morning till the day was through (C major)
Doing (G major) the work the
(D major) hueros wouldn't do. (G major)

and (D major) placed him in his grave
