Verse 1
D
Dear Graciela, I'm
writin' this letter
Am
Deep in the night and I'm all alone
It's nearly breakin' my heart to tell you
D
I'm so far away from home
I know I said I'd never cross the border
A
Am
I know I promised to return to you
But I lost my job in the maquiladora

Verse 3
D
Tell my mamma that I said I'm sorry
A
I know she didn't bring me up this way
Ask if she could light a candle for me
D
Pray that I'll come home someday
Oh Graciela, won't you
please forgive me
A
I never meant to bring this shame to you
I lost my job in the maquiladora
