Plane Wreck At Los Gatos (Deportee) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]The crops all are in and
the [G]peaches are [D]rotting
The oranges piled in [A]their creosote [D]tub
You're [G]flying 'em back
in the [D]Mexican border
To pay all their money to
[A]wade back again
[D]

[Verse 2]
Some of us are illegal and
[G]some are not [D]wanted
Our work contracts out and
we [A]have to move [D]on
[G]Six hundred miles to that [D]Mexican border
They chase us like outlaws like
[A]rustlers like thieves
[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Goodbye to my one
[D]goodbye Rosal[A]ita
Adios mis amigos Je[D]sus y Maria
You [G]won't have your names when
you [D]ride the big airplane
And all they will call you [A]be [D]deportees

[Verse 4]
We [D]died in your hills and we
[G]died in your [D]deserts
We died in your valleys and
[A]died on your [D]plains
We [G]died neath your trees and
we [D]died in your bushes
Both sides of the river we
[A]died just the same
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Goodbye to my one
[D]goodbye Rosalita
[A]Adios mis amigos Jesus [D]y Maria
You [G]won't have your names when
you [D]ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will
[A]be [D]deportees

[Verse 6]
[D]The sky plane got fire
over [G]Los Gatos [D]Canyon
A fireball of lightening and
[A]shook all our [D]hills
Who [G]are all these friends all
[D]scattered like dry leaves
The radio says they are
[A]just [D]dep[A]ort[D]ees

[Verse 7]
Is [D]this the best way we
can [G]grow our [D]orchards
Is this the best way we can [A]grow our [D]fruit
To [G]fall like dry leaves to [D]rot on our top soil
And be called by no name
ex[A]cept [D]deportees

[Verse 8]
[G]Goodbye to my one good
[D]bye Rosalita[A]
Adios mis amigos [D]Jesus y Maria
[G]Goodbye
[D]Goodbye.

[Outro 1]
