Verse
C Cadd9
Well I packed all of my things into this blanket
Am7/C Gsus2
To call this year to earn coyotes fill
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Kiss my wife and kids goodbye choke back the quiver in my breath
Am7 Gsus2 Gsus2
And took my first steps into this corridor of death
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
If I’m lucky I will make it to a drain
Am7/C Gsus2
With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Of standing in this boxcar praying for rain
Am7 Gsus2
It’s the only the way we will quench our thirst
Chorus
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
C Cmaj9 Am7/C
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 Gsus2 Am7/C
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
Verse
C Cadd9
If we make it past the border, we will scatter
Am7/C Gsus2
Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I will run until my color will not matter
Am7 Gsus2
Hopin’ I can find some work or possibly a friend
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
There are others who have made it here
Am7/C Gsus2
They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children
Am7 Gsus2
For there are 5 others in line for my bed
Chorus
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
C Cmaj9 Am7/C
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 Gsus2 Am7/C
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
C Cadd9
I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms
Am7/C Gsus2
I will do the jobs American won’t do
A7sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
With their cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes
Am7 Gsus2 Gsus2
I will risk my life ‘cause it’s all I have to lose
C Cadd9
Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride
Am7 Gsus2
Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside
Dsus4 Cadd9
And just outside of victory, 19 of us died
Am7 Gsus2
None of our bodies hit the floor
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And so my wife she still wonders when I’m coming home
Am7 Gsus2
The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone
Dsus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I said that I would send her all that I could save
Am7 Gsus2
But I ended up in California in an unknown grave
Chorus
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
C Cmaj9 Am7/C
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 Gsus2 Am7/C
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
C Cmaj9 Am7/C
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 Gsus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 Gsus2 Am7/C
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
