Bob Dylan – Deportee (Guitar)

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting,

    C                           F        C
The oranges are packed in their creosote dumps.

        F                      C
They're flying 'em back to the Mexico border

   C                       F          C     Csus4   C
To take all their money to wade back again.

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita,

All they will call you will be   "deportees."

My father's own father, he waded that river.

     C                     F           C
They took all the money he made in his life.

   F                         C
My brothers and sisters came workin' the fruit trees,

     C                              F             C     Csus4   C
They rode the big trucks 'till they laid down and died.

Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita,

   G7               C

The skyplane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon,

  C                            F             C
A fireball of lightnin' an' it shook all the hills.

F                               C
Who are these comrades, they're dying like the dry leaves?

    C                        F         C     Csus4   C
The radio tells me, "They're just deportees."

   C                         F            C
We died in your hills and we died in your deserts,

   C                        F            C
We died in your valleys, we died in your plains.

   F                             C
We died 'neath your trees and we died 'neath your bushes,

     C                     F             C     Csus4   C
Both sides of the river we died just the same.

All they will call you will be   "deportees."

   C                        F            C
Is this the best way we can grow our big orchards?

   C                        F             C
Is this the best way we can grow our good fruit?

   F                           C
To die like the dry leaves and rot on my topsoil

    C                     F          C     Csus4   C
And be known by no name except "deportee."
