El Lute

G  C
     This is the story of El Lute
G
  a man who was born to be hunted 
like a wild animal
D                                 
  because he was poor but he 
                 G
refused to accept his fate
  and today his honour has been 
restored.

[Verse 1]
       G
He was only nineteen and was 
sentenced to die
for something that somebody else did
                   C     Am
 and blamed on El Lute.
Then they changed it to life and so 
he could escape
                    D
from then on they chased him and 
searched for him day and night
 G                      D         
all over Spain but the search was 
           D7          G
in vain         for El Lute.

[Chorus]
       G7             C           
He had only seen the dark side of 
                             G
life the man they called El Lute
                D                  
and he wanted a home just like you 
         D7
and like me
                   G           
in a country where all would be 
         G7
free.

So he taught himself to read and to
                          G
 write it didn't help El Lute
                    D              
he was one who had dared to escape 
    D7
overnight
             C       G
they had to find El Lute.

Soon the fame of his name spread 
                     D
like wild fire all over the land
Cm
with a price on his head people 
still gave him bread
          D               Gm
and they gave him a hand
           D                       
for they knew he was right and his 
  G
fight was their fight.

[Verse 2]
        G
No one gave you a chance in the 
Spain of those days
on the walls every place they had 
                       C      Am
put up the face of El Lute.
And he robbed where he could just 
like once Robin Hood
              D
they finally caught him and that 
seemed the end.
          G                        
But they caught him in vain 'cause 
   D
a change came for Spain
        G
and El Lute.

[Chorus]
       G7             C           
He had only seen the dark side of 
                             G
life the man they called El Lute
                D                  
and he wanted a home just like you 
         D7
and like me
                   G           
in a country where all would be 
         G7

                         C         
And then freedom really came to his
                      G
 land and also to El Lute
                    D              
Now he walks in the light of a 
      D7
sunny new day
             C          G
The man they called El Lute
