Really pleased and honored to have a friend of ours a mentor and one of our elders
Who's been singing Chicano music and may have even created it somewhere back in the 30s or so
But a lot of his songs were made famous in the pachuco in the zoot suit era, please.
Would you welcome Lalo Guerrero?
[G] [Dm]
I think that I shall never [Em] see
[Gm]
any Chicanos on [D] TV
It [A] seems as though we don't [G] exist and [Gm]

[E] And yet we buy [F#m] and buy [Em] their wares
[Gm] But no Chicanos
[D] Anywhere
the situation [Em] comedies

Just [F#m] change the channel [G] and you get
Arnold [Gm] and Webster [D] on the set
[B]
Their TV families are [Em] white
[Gm]
But not a [A] Mexican [D] in sight
There are Chicanos [Em] in real life
[Gm] Doctors lawyers [D]
husbands wives
But all [F#m] they show us on [G] TV
[Gm] Are illegal aliens [D] as they flee
Or [B] some poor choro that [Em] they bust
[G] [Gm] flat on his face
[D] He's eating dust
Script writers never write for [Em] us.
[Gm]
I think it's time [D] we raised a fuss
[Am] [D]
[Am] [G]
Casting directors never [Gm] call they [D] don't remember us at all
Edward [F#m] James Olmos [Em] and Montalban
