G    D  G

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

[Chorus]
    C                   G
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita
   D                G
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
    C                          G
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
                                D        G
And all they will call you will be "Deportees"

[Verse]
                            C           G
Some of us are illegal, and some aren’t wanted
                                  D           G
Our work contract's out and we’ve got to move on
C                         G
Six hundred 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 amigos, Jesus y Maria
    C                          G
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
                                D        G        D    G    E
And all they will call you will be "Deportees"

[Verse]
    A                          D         A
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos Canyon
                        E             A
A fireball of lightning shook all our hills
    D                             A
Who are all these friends who are scattered like dry leaves?
                           E         A
The radio says, "They were just deportees"

[Chorus]
    D                   A
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita
   E                A
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
    D                          A
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
                                E        A
And all they will call you will be "Deportees"

[Chorus]
    D                   A
Goodbye to my Juan, goodbye, Rosalita
   E                A
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
    D                          A
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
                                E   N.C.   Am  A
And all they will call you will be "Deportees____"
