Dm     Dm/C         D
Caesar called for a census
    Dm         Dm/C        D
The boss wanna know what's goin' on
   Dm           Dm/C  D
So Joseph and Mary hit the road
     Dm   Dm/C    D
With Mary nigh on nine months gone

[Pre-chorus]
        G5
And you know we're talkin' 'bout a hell of a walk
         G5
And they had no place to stay
     A
They tried the inns and the hotels
                         G        F
But message was plain as day, you get

[Chorus]
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                      Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                      Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here

[Verse]
Dm       Dm/C   D
Juan and his Juanita
      Dm   Dm/C       D
And a baby boy they'd named Miguel
       Dm    Dm/C        D
On the other side of the line it's Heaven
   Dm     Dm/C      D
On this side it's a livin' Hell

[Pre-chorus]
       G5
So you do what it takes, pick up stakes
    G5
And try to escape the drought
             A
But when you get to the border
                                  G        F
The INS has got the welcome wagon out, you get

[Chorus]
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                      Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                      Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here

[Verse]
        Dm       Dm/C           D
Now you got your haves and your have-nots
    Dm     Dm/C    D
And almost nothin' in between
  Dm           Dm/C         D
Religions that preach about lovin' your brother
            Dm         Dm/C    D
But they're run by the foldin' green

[Pre-chorus]
              G5
Now there's a lot of folks looking over the edge
        G5
Of that plate we've piled so high
          A
When they all decide to come over the border
                        G             F
Time to kiss it all goodbye, there'll be

[Chorus]
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                       Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here
   Dm          Dm/C Dm                       Dm/C G F
No refuge, and no respite, and no sanctuary here
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                       Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here
   Dm      Dm/C Dm                       Dm/C G F
No refuge, no respite, and no sanctuary here

[Outro]
Dm   Dm/C Dm             Dm/C G F
           No sanctuary here
Dm   Dm/C Dm             Dm/C G F
           No sanctuary here
