Tonart: F major•
Verse 1
F
This next song I'm going to sing is an old song,
not too old.
I sang it on the
Midnight
Special on that
NBC thing, and it never got on the air.
I never released it. I don't think it
was the song itself.
It was probably the introduction,
you know.
Well, before I sang the song, I said,
I was talking about little kids,
Because I got some.
And I was saying, must be strange to grow up
in this country and not know what a grape
looks like.

F
Doesn't sound too subversive,
right?
Doesn't mean nothing.
Kicked it off the air though.

Some of us are illegal and

others not wanted
Dm
Our work contract's out
Bb
F
and we have to move on
Bb
Six hundred miles to the
F
Dm
Mexico border
F
Dm
They chase us like outlaws,
Bb
F
like rustlers and thieves
We've died in your hills and we've
Bb
F
died on your deserts
Dm
We've died in your valleys,
Bb
F
we've died on your plains
Bb
We've died in your trees and
