Immigrant Girl

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

Gm        Eb              Bb
Your grandmother gave you her Egyptian ring
Gm      Eb                   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    Eb             Bb
In my heart, I see a memory
Gm       Eb                   F
Maybe it was sometime in some other life
Gm    Eb               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  Eb              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
Immigrant girl.
