Immigrant Girl
BbHer ancient Egyptian eyes look oGmut on to the barrio
D#Oo-Foo, sha-la-la-Bbla
You stack the magazines when yGmou greet the others
D#Oo-Foo, immigrant Bbgirl
GmYour grandD#mother gave you Bbher Egyptian ring
GmJust to D#wear when you find a Fhusband
And you see everything around this all American
Oo-oo, sha-la-la-la
The radio station plays rock ‘n roll for you
Oo-oo, immigrant girl
GmIn my D#heart, I see a Bbmemory
GmMaybe it D#was sometime in some Fother life
GmAnd I D#see that you are Bblonging to be free
CYou knew to be everybody else’s (?)
You need to have Feverything you want in this American life
Oooooo-ooooo
sha-la-la-la
Won't you be my baby, my one and only baby
Oo-oo, immigrant girl
    Gm  D#Life is long in BbAmerica
CWe don't live in a magazine Fstand
You see the sun go down on this dark old L.A. town
Oo-oo sha-la-la-la
You  (?) with every dream you perceive that 
You will find. Immigrant girl
Immigrant girl.
