I Pity The Poor Immigrant

"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:   (x2) VERSE 1: I pity the poor immigrant Who wishes he would’ve stayed home Who uses all his power to do evil But in the end is always left so alone That man whom with his fingers cheats And whom lies with every breath Who passionately hates his life And likewise fears his death HARMONICA 1: VERSE 2: I pity the poor immigrant Whose strength is spent in vain Whose heaven is like Ironsides Whose tears are like rain Who eats but is not satisfied Who hears but does not see Who falls in love with wealth itself And turns his back on me HARMONICA 2: VERSE 3: I pity the poor immigrant Who tramples through the mud Who fills his mouth with laughing And who builds his town with blood Whose visions in the final end Must shatter like the glass I pity the poor immigrant When his gladness comes to pass OUTRO: NO CAPO:   I: D    =  F iii: F#m  =  Am  IV: G    =  Bb   V: A    =  C  vi: Bm   =  Dm
