Immigrant Girl

Bb                              Gm
Her ancient Egyptian eyes look out on to the barrio
D# F             Bb
Oo-oo, sha-la-la-la
                              Gm
You stack the magazines when you greet the others
D# F             Bb
Oo-oo, immigrant girl

Gm        D#              Bb
Your grandmother gave you her Egyptian ring
Gm      D#                   F
Just to wear when you find a husband

And you see everything around this all American
Oo-oo, sha-la-la-la
The radio station plays rock 'n roll for you
Oo-oo, immigrant girl

Gm    D#             Bb
In my heart, I see a memory
Gm       D#                   F
Maybe it was sometime in some other life
Gm    D#               Bb
And I see that you are longing to be free
C
You knew to be everybody else’s (?)
                 F
You need to have everything you want in this American life

Oooooo-ooooo
sha-la-la-la
Won't you be my baby, my one and only baby
Oo-oo, immigrant girl

Gm  D#              Bb
    Life is long in America
C                           F
We don't live in a magazine stand

You see the sun go down on this dark old L.A. town
Oo-oo sha-la-la-la
You  (?) with every dream you perceive that
You will find. Immigrant girl
