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