Verse
B Cadd9
Well I packed all of my things into this blanket
G#m7/B F#sus2
To call this year to earn coyotes fill
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Kiss my wife and kids goodbye choke back the quiver in my breath
G#m7 F#sus2 F#sus2
And took my first steps into this corridor of death
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
If I’m lucky I will make it to a drain
G#m7/B F#sus2
With 500 of my brothers, I would share the strain
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
Of standing in this boxcar praying for rain
G#m7 F#sus2
It’s the only the way we will quench our thirst
Chorus
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
B Bmaj9 G#m7/B
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 F#sus2 G#m7/B
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
Verse
B Cadd9
If we make it past the border, we will scatter
G#m7/B F#sus2
Vanish just like smoke in autumn wind
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I will run until my color will not matter
G#m7 F#sus2
Hopin’ I can find some work or possibly a friend
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
There are others who have made it here
G#m7/B F#sus2
They will show me how to find a job and a place to lay my head
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And I cannot be concerned with dreams of my children
G#m7 F#sus2
For there are 5 others in line for my bed
Chorus
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
B Bmaj9 G#m7/B
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 F#sus2 G#m7/B
We are the children of poverty trying to a make a stand
B Cadd9
I will gladly pick your peaches or clean your hotel rooms
G#m7/B F#sus2
I will do the jobs American won’t do
A7sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
With their cell phones to their heads and $700 dollar shoes
G#m7 F#sus2 F#sus2
I will risk my life ‘cause it’s all I have to lose
B Cadd9
Let the devil in the mountains promise me a ride
G#m7 F#sus2
Found an 18 wheeler and put all of us inside
C#sus4 Cadd9
And just outside of victory, 19 of us died
G#m7 F#sus2
None of our bodies hit the floor
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
And so my wife she still wonders when I’m coming home
G#m7 F#sus2
The riches that I promised her for leaving her alone
C#sus4 Gadd9 Cadd9
I said that I would send her all that I could save
G#m7 F#sus2
But I ended up in California in an unknown grave
Chorus
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
B Bmaj9 G#m7/B
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 F#sus2 G#m7/B
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
B Bmaj9 G#m7/B
Growing in the California sand
Cadd9 F#sus4
In these gardens of white crosses
Cadd9 Gadd9 Cadd9 F#sus2 G#m7/B
We are the children of poverty dying to a make a stand
