	  		Intro 
D                            G           D 
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting 
                                G        D 
The oranges are packed in their creosote dumps 
        G                       D      Bm 
They're flying 'em back to that Mexico border 
   D                       G           D 
To take all their money to wade back a gain 

   D                       G          D 
My father's own father, he waded that river 
                           G           D 
They took all the money he made in his life 
   G                         D           Bm 
My brothers and sisters come working the fruit trees 
     D                             G            D 
They rode the big trucks till they lay down and died 

Chorus 
     G                    D 
Good bye to my Juan, good bye Rosalita 
    A                 D 
Adi os mis amigos, Je sus y Maria 
    G                          D            Bm 
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane 
    D                           G        D 
And all they will call you will be depor tee 

Verse 
D                           G           D 
Some of us are illegal, and all are not wanted 
                                  G           D 
Our work contract's out and we've got to move on 
G                         D       Bm 
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border 
     D                           G              D 
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves 
   D                      G            D 
We died in your hills, we died in your deserts 
                           G            D 
We died in your armies, we died on your plains 
   G                             D                 Bm 
We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath those bushes 
     D                       G             D 
Both sides of that river, we died just the same
