Plane Wreck At Los Gatos (Deportee) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]The[D] cr[G]ops are all in
and the [C]peaches are [G]rottening
The oranges are piled
in their [D]creosote [G]dumps
You're [C]flying them back
to the [G]Mexican border
It takes all their money
to [D]wait back [G]again
Goodbye [C]to my one, [G]goodbye Rosalita
Adi[D]os, [Am]mis a[D]mi[G]gos, Jesús y María
You [C]won't have a name
when you [G]ride the big airplane
All they will call you will [D]be
de[G]portees[D][G]
My father's own father,
he [C]waded that [G]river
They took all the money
he [D]made in his [G]life
My sis[C]ters and brothers
come [G]work in the fruit fields
Rode that truck till they [D]went
down an[G]d d[C]ied
[G]Some of us are illegal
and [C]others not [G]wanted
Our work contract's out
and we [D]have to [G]move on
[C]600 miles to that [G]Mexican [D]border[G]
They chase us like rustlers,
like [D]outlaws, [G]like thieves
Goodbye [C]to my Juan,
[G]goodbye [D]Rosalita[G]
You [C]won't have a name
when you [G]ride the big airplane
For all they will call you will
[D]be depor[G]tees
The skyplane caught fire over
[C]Los Gatos [G]Canyon
A fireball of lightning
and [D]shook all [G]our hills
Who [C]are all these dear friends
[G]all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says they are [D]just de[G]portees
Is this the best way
we can [C]raise our good [G]archers?
Is this the best way
we can [D]grow our good [G]crops?
To [C]die and be scattered,
to [G]rot on the topsoil
To be called by no name
ex[D]cept [G]deportee
Good[C]bye to my one, [G]goodbye Rosalita
[D]Adios mis [G]amigos, Jesus y Maria
You [C]won't have a name
when you [G]ride the big airplane
All they will call you [D]will be deportees
