I Pity The Poor Immigrant – Joan Baez
Nghệ sĩ: Joan Baez
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
This is a really fun Joan Baez song that has a bit more going on then Dylan's version. For keyboard I play
C9 as Gm/C or Gm6/C, the Interludes follow the melody with some flourishes. You can probably play G/B like
G7 or G7/B if you wanna spice it up, I'm not sure exactly whats being played in the recording but I think
the guitar only plays standard G chord.

That man who with his fingers cheats

And likewise fears his death
