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.
