Judy Collins - Poor Immigrant
CAPO: 3rd Fret
[Intro]
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
