G  C   Am   D

[Verse]
G                              C           G
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
      G                          D       G
The oranges are piled in their creosote dumps
        C                       G
You're flying them back to the Mexican border
                           D          G
To pay all their money to wade back again

[Chorus]
     C                   G
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
   D                    G
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
     C                          G              Em
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
G                            D        G       C  Am   D
All they will call you will be deportee

[Verse]
G                           C                  G
Some of us are illegal and some of us are not wanted
                                D            G
Our work contract's out and we have to move on
          C                 G
But it's 600 miles to that Mexican border
                                  D               G
They chase us like outlaws, like rustlers, like thieves

[Chorus]
     C                   G
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
   D                    G
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
     C                          G             Em
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
G                            D        G       C  Am   D
All they will call you will be deportee

[Verse]
     G                     C           G
My father's own father he waded that river
                            D           G
They took all the money he made in his life
      C                               G
My brothers and sister come work the fruit trees
                               D             G
They rode the truck til' they laid down and died

[Verse]
      G                        C           G
The airplane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
                               D            G
A fireball of lightning that shook all our hills
C                               G
Who are these dear friends all scattered like dry leaves
                          D          G
The radio said they were just deportees

[Chorus]
     C                   G
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye Rosalita
   D                    G
Adios mis a-mi-gos, Jesus and Maria
     C                          G             Em
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
G                            D        Em
All they will call you will be deportee

[Outro]
    G                           D        G       C  Am   D
No, all they will call you will be deportee
