I'm writing this here letter from aboard a DC8
C Csus/F C Bb F CHeading into Angel town I hope it's not too late
C Csus/FIt rained in New York City
Mr rock n roll couldn't stay
C Csus/FThe crowd was mad and we were had
C Bb F CChasing the sun back to L.A.
Have breakfest with me mamma I hope they'll let us in
G Am G Bb F CGot a leather jacket on I know that it's a sin Gunga Din
C Csus/F C Csus/FSitting backwards on this airplane is bound to make me sick
Spend your life on a DC8
C Bb F CNever get to bed settle down settle down
C Csus/F C Csus/FNow we're over Kansas where the clouds are floating by
The whole wide world looks back at me
C Bb F CJust like a mushroom pie I wonder why
G Am G AmHave breakfest with me mamma I hope they'll let us in
Got a leather jacket on I know that it's a sin Gunja Din
From the " The Ballad Of Easy Rider" LP Columbia Records 1969
The Byrds Deportee written by Woodie Guthrie/M. Hoffman
The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
D A D D7The oranges are packed in their creosote green
G DYour flying them back to the Mexican border
To spend all their money to wade back again
G D A7 D D7Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G DYou won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
And all they will call you will be deportee
D G DSome of us are illegal and others not wanted
D A D D7Our work contracts out and we have to move on
Six hundred miles to that Mexican border
A DThey chase us like outlaws like rustlers and thieves
G D A7 D D7Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A DAnd all they will call you will be deportee
D G DThe sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
A fireball of lightning it shook all our hills
G DWho are all these firends who are scattered like dry leaves
A7 DThe radio said they were just deportees
Goodbye to Juan goodbye Roseleta adios mis amigos Jesus and Maria
G DYou won't have a name when you ride the big airplane
A DAnd all they will call you will be deportee
