Cadd9 - Dsus2

Verse
       G                           
Well I packed all of my things into
      Cadd9
 this blanket
   Em7/G                          
To call this year to earn coyotes 
Dsus2
fill
        Asus4                 
Kiss my wife and kids goodbye 
Gadd9          Cadd9
choke back the quiver in my breath
    Em7                           
And took my first steps into this 
Dsus2              Dsus2
corridor of death
       Asus4                Gadd9 
If I’m lucky I will make it to a  
Cadd9
drain
     Em7/G               Dsus2
With 500 of my brothers, I would 
share the strain
   Asus4              Gadd9 Cadd9
Of standing in this boxcar  praying 
for rain
         Em7                       
It’s the only the way we will 
      Dsus2
quench our thirst

Chorus
                    Cadd9  Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
G              Gmaj9       Em7/G
Growing in the California sand
                     Cadd9 Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
           Cadd9             Gadd9 
We are the children of poverty     
Cadd9       Dsus2    Em7/G
trying to a make a stand

Verse
      G                          
If we make it past the border, we 
       Cadd9
will scatter
Em7/G                          
Vanish just like smoke in autumn 
   Dsus2
wind
       Asus4                 Gadd9 
I will run until my color will not 
Cadd9
matter
    Em7                        
Hopin’ I can find some work or 
Dsus2
possibly a friend
          Asus4                  
There are others who have made it 
  Gadd9 Cadd9
here
They will show me how to find a 
Em7/G                      Dsus2
job and a place to lay my head
      Asus4              Gadd9 
And I cannot be concerned with 
Cadd9
dreams of my children
    Em7                   Dsus2
For there are 5 others in line for 
my bed

Chorus
                    Cadd9  Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
G              Gmaj9       Em7/G
Growing in the California sand
                     Cadd9 Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
           Cadd9             Gadd9 
We are the children of poverty     
Cadd9       Dsus2    Em7/G
trying to a make a stand


       G                           
I will gladly pick your peaches or 
Cadd9
clean your hotel rooms
Em7/G                Dsus2
I will do the jobs American won’t do
           A7sus4              
With their cell phones to their 
           Gadd9 Cadd9
heads and $700   dollar shoes
Em7                             
I will risk my life ‘cause it’s 
Dsus2              Dsus2
all I have to lose

        G                      
Let the devil in the mountains 
Cadd9
promise me a ride
Em7                         Dsus2
Found an 18 wheeler and put all of 
us inside
    Asus4                    Cadd9
And just outside of victory, 19 of 
us died
Em7                            Dsus2
None of our bodies hit the floor

          Asus4                
And so my wife she still 
Gadd9 Cadd9
wonders     when I’m coming home
    Em7                            
The riches that I promised her for 
Dsus2
leaving her alone
            Asus4               
I said that I would send her all 
       Gadd9  Cadd9
that I could save
      Em7                    Dsus2
But I ended up in California in an 
unknown grave

Chorus
                    Cadd9  Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
G              Gmaj9       Em7/G
Growing in the California sand
                     Cadd9 Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
           Cadd9             Gadd9 
We are the children of poverty     
Cadd9      Dsus2    Em7/G
dying to a make a stand

                    Cadd9  Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
G              Gmaj9       Em7/G
Growing in the California sand
                     Cadd9 Dsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
           Cadd9             Gadd9 
We are the children of poverty     
Cadd9      Dsus2    Em7/G
dying to a make a stand
 3/4     1/4   3/4   1/4
Em7/G - Cadd9 - G - Cadd9 (reapeat 
that fading out.)
