(D major) Dear Graciela, I'm

Deep in the night and I'm (A minor) all alone

I'm so far away (D major) from home
I know I said I'd never cross the border
I know I promised to re (A major) turn (A minor) to you
But I lost my job in the maquiladora
What's a simple (D major) man to do?

I met a man (D major) in Tijuana
Said he had a job for (A major) me to do
Stand (A minor) in' on a corner in San Diego
With a (A major) pocketful (D major) of (A major) (D major) red balloons
All I wanted was a little money
All I needed was a (A major) week or two
I (A minor) never even saw the police comin'
What's a sim (A major) ple (D major) man to

Tell my mamma that I said (D major) I'm sorry
I know she didn't bring me (A major) up this way
Ask if she could light a candle for me
Pray that I'll come home (D major) someday
Oh Graciela, won't you
please forgive me
I never meant to bring this (A major) shame to you
I lost my job in the maquiladora
