[G]
I am one more lonely man so [D] far away from home
Day after day on my knees I work [G] my hands to the bone
All [D] [G] of my sweat and my [Dm] tears water [G] [C] her crops and fields
But [G] she's only [D] seeing one thing whenever [G] she looks at [D] me
[G] I am a Mexican, God [D] bless America
She says my back is wet, I [G] say it's honest sweat
I run from La Migra, por [D] mi familia
A made in America man, I [G] am a Mexican
She's [D] [Am]
[D] [G]
[C] [G] always angry at me and I'm [D] so much trouble
She can call me illegal, but I [G] am no criminal
Now all that I hear her say is go [C] back to Mexico
But [G] what would she do [D] without me if [G] I should ever go
I am a Mexican, God [D] bless [C] America
