Immigrant chords by Alysha Brilla

Verse:
Em               D            Am
Right beside the ocean with a warm breeze
   C             G                A
A little boy was born beneath the palm trees
Em                    D               Am
The air was thick the sun was shining daily
C              G               A
Mom was in the Kitchen cooking mehlee

Bridge:
A                 Em              G
But I don’t wanna talk about that anymore
G             Am
That was back then, that was before
Am         G                                       A
Now I am a new man with a big plan living in a new land…

Verse:
Em          D         Am
On an island in the Indian Ocean
C       G                     A
A better life possessed all my devotion
Em             D         Am
When every night I’d hear the bullets ringing
C            G               A
I’d close my eyes and pray for a new beginning

Bridge:
A            Em            G
So when the papers arrived at my door

I thanked god, ‘cuz I was so sure
Am           G                                       A
that I was a new man with a big plan moving to a new land

They say my food is funny, my name is funny, I look funny
            Em                  D               Am
They say my clothes are funny, I speak, I laugh funny
           Em                  D               Am
They say I pray funny, I dream funny, I sing funny
   Em                  D                       Am
My god is funny, but where I’m from it’s not so funny…
