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