Verse
SOL DOadd9Well I packed all of my things into this blanket
MIm7/SOL REsus2To call this year to earn coyotes fill
Kiss my wife and kids goodbye choke back the quiver in my breath
MIm7 REsus2 REsus2And took my first steps into this corridor of death
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9If I’m lucky I will make it to a drain
With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9Of standing in this boxcar praying for rain
MIm7 REsus2It’s the only the way we will quench our thirst
Chorus DOadd9 REsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
SOL SOLMaj9 MIm7/SOLGrowing in the California sand
In these gardens of white crosses
DOadd9 SOLadd9 DOadd9 REsus2 MIm7/SOLWe are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
Verse
If we make it past the border, we will scatter
MIm7/SOL REsus2Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9I will run until my color will not matter
Hopin’ I can find some work or possibly a friend
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9There are others who have made it here
MIm7/SOL REsus2They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head
And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children
MIm7 REsus2For there are 5 others in line for my bed
Chorus
In these gardens of white crosses
SOL SOLMaj9 MIm7/SOLGrowing in the California sand
DOadd9 REsus4In these gardens of white crosses
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
SOL DOadd9
I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms
I will do the jobs American won’t do
LA7sus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9With their cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes
MIm7 REsus2 REsus2I will risk my life ‘cause it’s all I have to lose
SOL DOadd9
Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride
Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside
LAsus4 DOadd9And just outside of victory, 19 of us died
MIm7 REsus2None of our bodies hit the floor
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9
And so my wife she still wonders when I’m coming home
The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone
LAsus4 SOLadd9 DOadd9I said that I would send her all that I could save
MIm7 REsus2But I ended up in California in an unknown grave
