IMMIGRATION MAN
by Graham Nash

Source: www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/immigrat.htm

There I was at the immigration scene
Shining and feeling clean, could it be a sin
I got stopped by the immigration man
He says he doesn't know if he can let me in

/ D - C - / D9 - Bb - / :

{Refrain}
Let me in, immigration man
Can I cross the line and pray
I can stay another day
Let me in, immigration man
I won't toe your line today
I can't see it anyway, hey-y

/ D - C - / D9 - / Bb - / 1st, 2nd / Bb - D - /

There he was with his immigration face
Giving me a paper chase, but the sun was coming
'Cause all at once he looked into my space
And stamped a number over my face and he sent me running

Won't you
{Refrain}

Here I am with my immigration form
It's big enough to keep me warm when a cold wind's coming
So go where you will as long as you think you can
You'd better watch out, watch out for the man anywhere you're going

{As refrain}
Come on and let me in, immigration man
Can I cross the line and pray
Take your fingers from the tray
Let me in, irritation man
I won't toe your line today
I can't see it anyway
