Bob Dylan - I Pity the Poor
Immigrant
G C D7 G
I pity the poor immigrant who wishes he would have stayed home
G C D7 G
Who uses all his power to do evil but in the end is always left so alone
Em Bm C G
That man whom with his fingers cheats, who lies with every breath
G C D7 G
Who passionately hates his life and likewise fears his death
G C D7 G
I pity the poor immigrant who tramples thru the mud
G C D7 G
Who fills his mouth with laughing & who builds his town with blood
Em Bm C G
Who eats but is not satisfied, who hears but does not see
G C D7 G
Who falls in love with wealth itself and turns his back on me
G C D7 G
I pity the poor immigrant whose strength is spent in vain
G C D7 G
Whose heaven is like ironsides, whose tears are like rain
Em Bm C G
Whose visions in the final end, must shatter like the glass
G C D7 G
I pity the poor immigrant when his gladness comes to pass
