C
[Verse 1]
F
I pity the poor immigrant
G C
Who wishes he would've stayed home
F
Who uses all his power to do evil
G C
And in the end is always left alone
Am Em
That man who with his fingers cheats
F C
And who lies with every breath
F
Who passionately hates his life
G C
And likewise fears his death
[Verse 2]
F
I pity the poor immigrant
G C
Whose strength is spent in vain
F
Whose heaven is like Ironsides
G C
Whose tears fall like rain
Am Em
Who eats, but is not satisfied
F C
Who hears, but does not see
F
Who falls in love with wealth itself
G C
And turns his back on me
[Instrumental]
C F G C F G C
Am Em F C F G C
[Verse 3]
F
I pity the poor immigrant
G C
Who tramples through the mud
F
Who fills his mouth with laughing
G C
And who builds his town with blood
Am Em
Whose visions in the final end
F C
Must shatter like the glass
F
I pity the poor immigrant
G C
When his gladness comes to pass
