Verse
F# Cadd9
Well I packed all of my things into this blanket
D#m7/F# C#sus2
To call this year to earn coyotes fill
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Kiss my wife and kids goodbye choke back the quiver in my breath
D#m7 C#sus2 C#sus2
And took my first steps into this corridor of death
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
If I’m lucky I will make it to a drain
D#m7/F# C#sus2
With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Of standing in this boxcar praying for rain
D#m7 C#sus2
It’s the only the way we will quench our thirst
Chorus
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
F# F#maj9 D#m7/F#
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 C#sus2 D#m7/F#
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
Verse
F# Cadd9
If we make it past the border, we will scatter
D#m7/F# C#sus2
Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I will run until my color will not matter
D#m7 C#sus2
Hopin’ I can find some work or possibly a friend
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
There are others who have made it here
D#m7/F# C#sus2
They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children
D#m7 C#sus2
For there are 5 others in line for my bed
Chorus
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
F# F#maj9 D#m7/F#
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 C#sus2 D#m7/F#
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
F# Cadd9
I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms
D#m7/F# C#sus2
I will do the jobs American won’t do
A7sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
With their cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes
D#m7 C#sus2 C#sus2
I will risk my life ‘cause it’s all I have to lose
F# Cadd9
Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride
D#m7 C#sus2
Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside
G#sus4 Cadd9
And just outside of victory, 19 of us died
D#m7 C#sus2
None of our bodies hit the floor
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And so my wife she still wonders when I’m coming home
D#m7 C#sus2
The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone
G#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I said that I would send her all that I could save
D#m7 C#sus2
But I ended up in California in an unknown grave
Chorus
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
F# F#maj9 D#m7/F#
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 C#sus2 D#m7/F#
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
F# F#maj9 D#m7/F#
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 C#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 C#sus2 D#m7/F#
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
