Tom : G
G C Am D

[Verse]
G C G
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
G D G
The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps
C G
You're flying them back to the Mexican border
D G
To pay all their money to wade back again

[Chorus]
C G
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
D G
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
C G Em
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
G D G C Am D
All they will call you will be deportee

[Verse]
G C G
Some of us are illegal and some of us are not wanted
D G
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
C G
But it's 600 miles to that Mexican border
D G
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves

[Chorus]
[Verse]
G C G
My father's own father he waded that river
D G
They took all the money he made in his life
C G
My brothers and sister come work the fruit trees
D G
They rode the truck til' they laid down and died

[Verse]
G C G
The airplane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
D G
A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills
C G
Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves
D G
The radio said they were just deportees

[Chorus]
[Outro]
G D G C Am D
No, all they will call you will be deportee
