Highwaymen - Deportee guitar tab

Greg,

In January 1948 an airplane carrying Mexican Nationals crashed near the Los

Gatos canyon in California. Woody Guthrie, the voice of everyman, wrote a

poem about the crash that was later put to music by Pete Seeger. This is my

interpretation of the version as done by The Highwaymen.

DEPORTEE

(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) mi 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) mi 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...Deportees (G)

(Note: As near as I can tell this is a Spanish version of the chorus as

performed by Johnny Rodriguez. If anyone can help me with the correct

translation I would deeply appreciate it.)

Adios mi Juan, adios Rosalita

Adios mi amigos, Jesus y Maria

No tiene su nombre con grande airplano

All they will call you will be...Deportee
