Thom Chacon – I Am An Immigrant chords

[Intro]
|C  |C  |G  G6 G |F  |C  |C  |

[Verse 1]
CI am an immigrant from Mexico
      CGot a wife and kids back in El Charro
  FI harvest the grapes from the San Joaquin
CSleep on the ground and bathe in the stream
  GI walk in the shadows wherever I go
F                          CI am an immigrant from Mexico

[Verse 2]
CStarved in the desert, 'cross the Rio Grande
         CJust the clothes on my back and a wedding band
    FI's caught in Chula Vista and beaten like a dog
      CAnd I prayed to Lord Jesus for the strength to go on
      GNow I walk in the shadows wherever I go
F                          CI am an immigrant from Mexico

[Verse 3]
        CWell, I stay up late almost every night
        CWriting letters back home by candlelight
     FTell Rosie I’m alive and doing OK
          CHear they might pass a law to keep us here some day
    GI believe in this land of gold and hope
F                          CI am an immigrant from Mexico
    GI believe in this land of gold and hope
F                          CI am an immigrant from Mexico
