[Intro]
F Bb C7 F
||: | | | :||
F Bb
I pity the poor immigrant
C7 F
Who wishes he would've stayed home,
Bb
Who uses all his power to do evil
C7 F
But in the end is always left so alone.
Dm Am
That man whom with his fingers cheats
F F
And who lies with ev'ry breath,
Bb
Who passionately hates his life
C7 F
And likewise, fears his death.
F Bb
I pity the poor immigrant
C7 F
Whose strength is spent in vain,
Bb
Whose heaven is like Ironsides,
C7 F
Whose tears are like rain,
Dm Am
Who eats but is not satisfied,
Bb F
Who hears but does not see,
Bb
Who falls in love with wealth itself
C7 F
And turns his back on me.
F Bb
I pity the poor immigrant
C7 F
Who tramples through the mud,
Bb
Who fills his mouth with laughing
C7 F
And who builds his town with blood,
Dm Am
Whose visions in the final end
Bb F
Must shatter like the glass.
Bb
I pity the poor immigrant
C7 F
When his gladness comes to pass.
[Outro]
F Bb C7 F
