Poor Immigrant Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 3rd Fret

[INTRO]
[C]

[VERSE 1]
I pity the poor [F]immigrant
Who [G]wishes he would've stayed [C]home
Who uses all his power to [F]do evil
And in the [G]end is always left a[C]lone
That [Am]man who with his [Em]fingers cheats
And who [F]lies with every [C]breath
Who passionately [F]hates his life
And [G]likewise fears his [C]death

[VERSE 2]
I pity the poor [F]immigrant
Whose [G]strength is spent in [C]vain
Whose heaven is like [F]Ironsides
Whose [G]tears fall like [C]rain
Who [Am]eats, but is not [Em]satisfied
Who [F]hears, but does not [C]see
Who falls in love with [F]wealth itself
And [G]turns his back on [C]me

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 3]
I pity the poor [F]immigrant
Who [G]tramples through the [C]mud
Who fills his mouth with [F]laughing
And who [G]builds his town with [C]blood
Whose [Am]visions in the [Em]final end
Must [F]shatter like the [C]glass
I pity the poor [F]immigrant
When his [G]gladness comes to [C]pass
