Capo 1
He was [G]only nineteen and was sentenced to die
for something that somebody else did, and blamed on El [C]lute
[Am]Then they changed it to life, and so he could escape
From then on they [D]chased him, and searched for him day and night [G] all
over Spain
But the [D7]search was in vain for El [G] Lute
[G7] He had only seen the [C]dark side of life, the man they called El [G]
Lute
And he wanted a [D7] home just like you and like me in a country where [G] all
would be free
[G7] So he taught himself to [C]read and to write, it didn't help El [G] Lute
He was one who had [D7] dared to escape overnight
They had to [C]find El [G] Lute
Soon the [Gm]fame of his name, spread like wild fire all [D7]over the land
[Cm]with a price on his head people still gave him bread and they [D7] gave
him a hand
[Gm] For they [D7]knew he was right, and his [G] fight was their fight
No one [G]gave you a chance in the Spain of those days
On the walls every place they had put up the face of El [C] Lute
And he [Am]robbed where he could just like once Robin Hood
They finally [D7] caught him and that seemed the end but they [G] caught him
in vain
‘cause a [D] change came for Spain and El [G] Lute
[G7] He had only seen the [C] dark side of life, the man they called El [G]
Lute
And he wanted a [D7] home just like you and like me in a country where [G] all
would be free
[G7] And then freedom really [C] came to his land and also to El [G] Lute
Now he walks in the [D7] light of a sunny new day, he man they [C] called El
[G] Lute
