D	G	D
The	crops are all in and the	peaches are	rotting

	D	A7	D
The	oranges are piled in their	creosote	dumps

	G	D
You're	flying them back to the	Mexican border

	D	A7	D
To	pay all their money, to	wade back	again

	D	G	D
My	father's own father, he	waded that	river

	D	A7	D
They	took all the money he	made in his	life

	G	D	D
My	brothers and sisters come	working the	fruit trees

	D	A7	D
And they	rode the truck till they	took down and	died

	G	D	A7	D
Good	bye to my Juan, good	bye Rosalita, adi	ós mi amigo, Je	sus y Maria

	G	D	A7	D
You	won't have your names when you	ride the big airplane, all they will call you will	be "depor	tee"

	D	G	D
Some	of us are illegal and	others not	wanted

	D	A7	D
Our	work contracts out and we	have to move	on

	G	D
Six	hundred miles to the	Mexican border

	D	D	A7	D
They	chase us like	outlaws, like	rustlers, like	thieves

	D	G	D
We	died in your hills, we	died in your	deserts

	D	A7	D
We	died in your valleys, and	died on your	plains

	G	D
We	died neath your trees, and we	died in your bushes

	D	D	A7	D
Both	sides of the	river, we	died just the	same

	D	G	D
The	sky plane caught fire over	Los Gatos	canyon

	D	A7	D
A	fireball of thunder, it	shook all the	hills

	G	D
Who are	all of these dear friends,	scattered like dry leaves?

	D	A7	D
The	radio said "they were	just depor	tees"

	D	G	D
Is	this the best way we can	grow our big	orchards?

	D	A7	D
Is	this the best way we can	grow our good	fruit?

	G	D
To	fall like like dry leaves, to	rot on my topsoil

	D	A7	D
And	to be called no	name, except "depor	tee"

	G	D	A7	D
Adi	ós a mi Juan, adi	ós Rosalita, adi	ós mi amigo, Je	sós y Maria

	G	D	A7	D
No	tendrá un nombre en	el aeroplano, solo te van a po	ner "Depor	tee"
