Highwaymen

Highwaymen - Deportee 2 guitar tab

(G)The crops are all in and the (C) peaches are (G) rotting

The oranges are packed in the (D) creoste (G) dumps

(C) They're flying them back to the (G) Mexican border

To save all their money and (D7) wade back again

(G) My father's own father he (C) waded that (G) river

Others before him have (D) done just the (G) same

(C) They died in the hills and they (G) died in the valleys

Some went to heaven with (D7) out any (G) names

CHORUS:

(C) Goodbye to my Juan, good (G) bye Rosalita

Adios (D) mis amigos, (D7) Jesus y (G) Maria

(C) You won't have a name when you (G) ride the big airplane

All they will call you will (D7) be.....Deportee (G)

(G) Some of us are illegal and (C) others not (G) wanted

Our work contracts out and we (D) have to move (G) on

(C) Six hundred miles to the (G) Mexican border

They chase us like outlaws, like (D7) rustlers, like (G) thieves

(C) Goodbye to my Juan, good (G) bye Rosalita

Adios (D) mis amigos, (D7) Jesus y (G) Maria

(C) You won't have a name when you (G) ride the big airplane

All they will call you will (D7) be.....Deportee (G)

(Chorus Instrumental)

(G) The sky plane caught fire over (C) Los Gatos (G) canyon

A fireball of thunder that (D) shook all the (G) hills

(C) Who are all these dear friends (G) scattered like dry leaves

The radio said they were (D7) just...Deportee (G)

Adios a mi Juan, adios Rosalita

Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria

No tendras ningun nombre en aquel aeroplano

Solo te van a poner...Deportee
