Verse
Well I [G]packed all of my things into this [Cadd9]blanket
To [Em7/G]call this year to earn coyotes [Dsus2]fill
Kiss my [Asus4]wife and kids goodbye [Gadd9]choke back the [Cadd9]quiver in my breath
And [Em7]took my first steps into this [Dsus2]corridor of death[Dsus2]
If I?m [Asus4]lucky I will make it [Gadd9]to a [Cadd9]drain
With [Em7/G]500 of my brothers, [Dsus2]I would share the strain
Of [Asus4]standing in this bo[Gadd9]xcar [Cadd9]praying for rain
It?s the [Em7]only the way we will quench our [Dsus2]thirst
Chorus
In these gardens of [Cadd9]white c[Dsus4]rosses
[G]Growing in the [GMaj9]California s[Em7/G]and
In these gardens of w[Cadd9]hite c[Dsus4]rosses
We are the [Cadd9]children of povert[Gadd9]y [Cadd9]trying to a [Dsus2]make a st[Em7/G]and
Verse
If we [G]make it past the border, we will s[Cadd9]catter
[Em7/G]Vanish just like smoke in autumn w[Dsus2]ind
I will [Asus4]run until my color wil[Gadd9]l not [Cadd9]matter
Hopi[Em7]n? I can find some work or [Dsus2]possibly a friend
There are [Asus4]others who have made it h[Gadd9]ere[Cadd9]
They will show me how to find a [Em7/G]job and a place to lay my h[Dsus2]ead
And I [Asus4]cannot be concerned[Gadd9] with [Cadd9]dreams of my children
For [Em7]there are 5 others in [Dsus2]line for my bed
Chorus

I will [G]gladly pick your peaches or [Cadd9]clean your hotel rooms
[Em7/G]I will do the jobs Am[Dsus2]erican won?t do
With their [A7sus4]cell phones to their heads and [Gadd9]$700 [Cadd9] dollar shoes
[Em7]I will risk my life ?cause it?s [Dsus2]all I have to lose[Dsus2]
Let the [G]devil in the mountains [Cadd9]promise me a ride
[Em7]Found an 18 wheeler and put [Dsus2]all of us inside
And [Asus4]just outside of victory, [Cadd9]19 of us died
[Em7]None of our bodies hit the floo[Dsus2]r
And so my [Asus4]wife she still wonder[Gadd9]s [Cadd9]when I?m coming home
The [Em7]riches that I promised her for [Dsus2]leaving her alone
I said that [Asus4]I would send her all that I[Gadd9] could [Cadd9]save
But I [Em7]ended up in California [Dsus2]in an unknown grave
