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