CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[G] [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 1]
The crops are all in and the [C]peaches are [G]rotting
The oranges are packed in their [D]creosote [G]dumps
They're [C]flying them back to the [G]Mexican border
It takes all their money to [D]wade back a[G]gain

[CHORUS]
[C]Goodbye to my Juan, good[G]bye Rosalita
Adios [D]mi amigos,[G] Jesus y Maria
You [C]won't have a name when you [G]ride the big airplane
All they will call you will [D]be 'Depor[G]tee' [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 2]
My father's own father, he [C]waded that [D]river
They took all the money he [D]made in his [G]life
My [C]sisters and brothers come [G]work in the fruit trees
Rode that truck till they [D]went down and [G]died

[VERSE 3]
Some of us are illegal and [C]others not [G]wanted
Our work contract's out and we [D]have to move [G]on
[C]Six hundred miles to the [G]Mexican border
They chase us like rustlers, like [D]outlaws, like [G]thieves

[CHORUS]
[C]Goodbye to my Juan, good[G]bye Rosalita
Adios [D]mi amigos,[G] Jesus y Maria
You [C]won't have a name when you [G]ride the big airplane
All they will call you will [D]be 'Depor[G]tee' [C] [D] [G]

[VERSE 4]
The sky plane caught fire over [C]Los Gatos [G]canyon
A fireball of thunder that [D]shook all the [G]hills
Who are [C]all these dear friends, [G]scattered like dry leaves
The radio says, "They are [D]just deporte[G]es"

[VERSE 5]
Is this the best way we can [C]raise our good [G]orchards?
Is this the best way we can [D]grow our good [G]crops?
To [C]die and be scattered, to [G]rot on my topsoil
And be called by no name ex[D]cept "Depor[G]tees"?

[CHORUS]
[C]Goodbye to my Juan, good[G]bye Rosalita
Adios [D]mi amigos,[G] Jesus y Maria
You [C]won't have a name when you [G]ride the big airplane
All they will call you will [D]be 'Depor[G]tee' [C] [D] [G]
