"I PITY THE POOR IMMIGRANT" by BOB DYLAN from John Wesley Harding - 1967 NOTES: - The V7 works just fine for the third chord (AM) but in the recording I hear a clean major. - I indicated the lyric syllable each chord change occurs on to the nearest beat, though occasional Dylan's phrasing is slightly different; I've notated for clarity. - The previous chord tab for this song mysteriously left out the G after the F#m in the second half of the verse, but here it's present and thus order is restored to the universe. (Capo 3rd fret) Key of D major INTRO: D, G, A, D (x2) VERSE 1:

I ^Dpity the poor ^Gimmigrant Who ^Awishes he would've stayed ^Dhome Who uses all his power to ^Gdo evil But in the ^Aend is always left so ^Dalone That ^Bmman whom with his ^F#mfingers cheats And whom ^Glies with every ^Dbreath Who passionately ^Ghates his life And ^Alikewise fears his ^Ddeath

HARMONICA 1: D, G, A, D VERSE 2:

I ^Dpity the poor ^Gimmigrant Whose ^Astrength is spent in ^Dvain Whose heaven is like ^GIronsides Whose ^Atears are like ^Drain Who ^Bmeats but is not ^F#msatisfied Who ^Ghears but does not ^Dsee Who falls in love with ^Gwealth itself And ^Aturns his back on ^Dme

HARMONICA 2: D, G, A, D VERSE 3:

I ^Dpity the poor ^Gimmigrant Who ^Atramples through the ^Dmud Who fills his mouth with ^Glaughing And who ^Abuilds his town with ^Dblood Whose ^Bmvisions in the ^F#mfinal end Must ^Gshatter like the ^Dglass I pity the poor ^Gimmigrant When his g^Aladness comes to ^Dpass
