[Bb] The [Eb]
[Bb]
crops are all in and the lettuce [Bb] is rotting The oranges are piled and [Eb] their tree is [Bb] so
dumb They're
[Eb] flying them back [Bb] to that Mexican [Gm]
border
[Bb] They pay all their money [Eb] and wade [Bb] back again My father's own father, [Eb] he waded [Bb] that river
They took all the money [Eb] he made in [Bb] his life My [Eb] brothers and sisters [Bb] came working the [Gm]
fruit trees
They rode on their truck till they [Eb]
lay [Bb] down and [F]
[Bb] died
Goodbye to my Juan, [Bb] goodbye Rosalita
[F] Adios mis amigos, [Bb] Jesus y Maria
You [Eb]
won't have a name when [Bb] you ride the [Gm] big airplane [Bb] And all they will [Gm] call you [Eb] will be deportees
Some of us are illegal and others [Bb] not wanted Our work contract's out and [Eb] we've got to [Bb] move on
[Eb] They're 600 miles to [Bb] that Mexican [G]
border [Bb] They chase us like outlaws, [Eb] like rustlers, [Bb] like thieves
We've died on your hills and [Eb] we've died on [Bb] your deserts
We've died in your valleys, [Eb] we've died on [Bb] your plains
[Gm] [Eb] We've died neath your trees and [Bb] we've died in [Gm] your bushes
[Bb] Both sides of that river [Eb] we've died just the same
Goodbye to my Juan, [Bb] goodbye Rosalita
[F] Adios mis amigos, [Bb] Jesus y Maria
[Eb] You won't have a name when [Gm] you ride the big airplane [Bb] And all they will call you [Eb] will be [Bb]
deportees
[Eb]
[Bb]
The skyplane caught fire over [Eb] Los [Bb] Gatos Canyon A fireball of lightning [Eb] it shook all [Bb] our hills
[Eb] Who are these Chicanos [Bb] all scattered [Gm] like dry leaves?
[Bb] The radio tells us [Eb] they're just [Bb]
deportees
Is this the best way we [Eb] can grow our [Bb] good orchards?
Is this the best way we [Eb] can grow our [Bb]
good fruit?
To [Eb] fall like dry leaves [Bb] and rot on your [Gm] topsoil [Bb] And be called by [Gm] no name [Eb] except [Bb]
deportees
[Eb] Goodbye to my Juan, [Bb] goodbye Rosalita
[F] Adios mis amigos, [Bb] Jesus y Maria
[Eb] You won't have a name [Bb] when you ride [Gm] the big airplane
[Bb] And all they will [C] call you [Eb] will be [Bb]
deportees
