I did not forget

your documents
C  D*      Em     D       C 
No time to waste, why not begin

C      D*     Em          D         C     D*
Here's how it works, I've got these faces
              Em     D       C
You give them names, I won't deport you

Make sure you face my tape recorder

Make no mistake,    this fountain pen
C     D*      Em D          C
Could put you on a plane by ten
C   D*     Em  D    C    D*      Em   D 
And by the way,     your next of kin
C D*         Em    D            C

So now that you know whose skin you're saving
   D*        Em     D              C 
In this photograph, who's this one waving
  D*        Em       D         C
I think you know, so speak up, amigo

        G                        D
It says here by trade you were a fisherman
                  Em                          C
Well I'll bet you Indians can really real 'em in
                   D
And if you get the chance
           G                     D
You should try to get up to Lake Michigan
          C           D*
Maybe but then again, anyway...

There is no shame, he'd do the same
C       D*     Em     D              C
So what do you say, I don't have all day
     D*    Em   D
It's up to you
              C        D*  Em     D         C
Which will it be, good citizen or poor campesino?

   G                                   D
My dad used to rent us this place in Ontario
             Em                               C
He showed us how to cast the line and tie the flies
           D              G                        D
He used to say that God rewards us for letting the small ones go
               C             D*
Well maybe but I don't know, anyway...

C      D*    Em    D             C
It's easy to bite, just take the bait
      D*       Em    D
Don't snap the line, don't fight...
    C          D*      Em  D            C    
The hook hurts less if you don't try to dive

D* Em D C

  G                         D
Senor, as you know, I was a fisherman
             Em
How full the nets came in
                  C
We hauled them up by hand
            D       G                           D
But when we fled, I left them just out past the coral reefs
                C               D*        
They're waiting there for me... running deep...

C D* Em D (x3) C
