Christmas In Nogales by John Hawkins feat. Victor Calderon, John Colaiacovo
Christmas In Nogales
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:D
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
D A
We fled from Guatemala, with the little that we owned
D
We travelled many a weary mile, for many a weary moon
G
All the way up through Mexico, myself and my son
D A D
And my wife growing great with child, as we journeyed on
[Chorus]
G D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
A
We came for asylum, but there was no room at all
D G
The shelter’s overflowing, and the tears will surely fall
D A D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
[Verse]
D A
Behind us lie the broken streets of the land that we called home
D
No safety left for those like us from the brothers of the gun
G
No sustenance to keep us, nothing left to give
D A D
Our only choice to travel north, to find a way to live
[Chorus]
G D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
A
We came for asylum, but there was no room at all
D G
The shelter’s overflowing, and the tears will surely fall
D A D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
[Bridge]
G D
Up across the border, into the land of gold
A
Nine days in the desert, nine nights in the cold
D G
Until at last they caught us, and took away our son
D A D
Then sent my wife and me back here with our child unborn
D A
They left us at the station, with no laces in our shoes
D
Our feet were torn and bleeding, we had nothing left to lose
G
Our worthless last possessions in plastic shopping bags
D A D
To us a baby girl was born, swaddled close in rags
[Chorus]
G D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
A
We came for asylum, but there was no room at all
D G
The shelter’s overflowing, and the tears will surely fall
D A D
It’s Christmas in Nogales, in the shadow of the wall
