[INTRO]
|C |C |G G6 G |F |C |C |

[VERSE 1]
[C]I am an immigrant from Mexico
Got a [C]wife and kids back in El Charro
I [F]harvest the grapes from the San Joaquin
[C]Sleep on the ground and bathe in the stream
I [G]walk in the shadows wherever I go
[F]I am an immigrant from Mexi[C]co

[VERSE 2]
[C]Starved in the desert, 'cross the Rio Grande
Just the [C]clothes on my back and a wedding band
I's [F]caught in Chula Vista and beaten like a dog
And I [C]prayed to Lord Jesus for the strength to go on
Now I [G]walk in the shadows wherever I go
[F]I am an immigrant from Mexi[C]co

[VERSE 3]
Well, I [C]stay up late almost every night
Writing [C]letters back home by candlelight
Tell [F]Rosie I’m alive and doing OK
Hear they [C]might pass a law to keep us here some day
I be[G]lieve in this land of gold and hope
[F]I am an immigrant from Mexi[C]co
I be[G]lieve in this land of gold and hope
[F]I am an immigrant from Mexi[C]co
