[ Deportee von Byrds ]
D G D
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
D A D D7
The oranges are packed in their creosote green
G D
Your flying them back to the Mexican border
A7 D
To spend all their money to wade back again
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Rosaleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A7 D
And all they will call you will be deportee
D G D
Some of us are illegal and others not wanted
D A D D7
Our work contracts out and we have to move on
G D
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
A D
They chase us like outlaws like rustlers and thieves
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Rosaleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A D
And all they will call you will be deportee
**Instrumental
D G D
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
D A7 D
A fireball of lightning it shook all our hills
G D
Who are all these friends who are scattered like dry leaves
A7 D
The radio said they were just deportees
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Rosaleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A D
And all they will call you will be deportee
