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 Dm
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 Dm
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 Dm
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.
