C Csus/F C Csus/F
I'm writing this here letter from aboard a DC8
C Csus/F C Bb F C
Heading into Angel town I hope it's not too late
C Csus/F
It rained in New York City
C Csus/F
Mr rock n roll couldn't stay
C Csus/F
The crowd was mad and we were had
C Bb F C
Chasing the sun back to L.A.
G Am G Am
Have breakfest with me mamma I hope they'll let us in
G Am G Bb F C
Got a leather jacket on I know that it's a sin Gunga Din
C Csus/F C Csus/F
Sitting backwards on this airplane is bound to make me sick
C Csus/F
Spend your life on a DC8
C Bb F C
Never get to bed settle down settle down
C Csus/F C Csus/F
Now we're over Kansas where the clouds are floating by
C Csus/F
The whole wide world looks back at me
C Bb F C
Just like a mushroom pie I wonder why
G Am G Am
Have breakfest with me mamma I hope they'll let us in
G Am G Bb F C
Got a leather jacket on I know that it's a sin Gunja Din

The Byrds Deportee written by Woodie Guthrie/M. Hoffman

D G D
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
D A D D7
The oranges are packed in their creosote green
G D
Your flying them back to the Mexican border
A7 D
To spend all their money to wade back again
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A7 D
And all they will call you will be deportee
D G D
Some of us are illegal and others not wanted
D A D D7
Our work contracts out and we have to move on
G D
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
A D
They chase us like outlaws like rustlers and thieves
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A D
And all they will call you will be deportee
D G D
The sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
D A7 D
A fireball of lightning it shook all our hills
G D
Who are all these firends who are scattered like dry leaves
A7 D
The radio said they were just deportees
G D A7 D D7
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G D
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A D
And all they will call you will be deportee
