El Lute Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Thi[C]s is the story of El Lut[G]e
A man who was born to be hunted
like a wild [D]animal
Because he was poor
But he refused to accept his fate
[G]And today his honor has been res[Eb]tored
[Ab][Eb]

[Interlude 1]
[C#][Eb][Ab][Eb][C#][Ab]
[Eb][C#][Ab]
[G]He was only

[Verse 2]
[Ab]nineteen[G] and he was[Ab]
sentenced [G]to die
[Ab]For something that [G]somebody else did
and blamed on El [C#]Lute[C][Bbm]
Then they changed it to life
and so he could escape
From [Am]then on they [D]chased him
[Eb]and searched for him day and night
[G]All over [Ab]Spain but [Eb]the search was
in vain [D]for El [G]Lute[Ab][G]
[Ab]He had

[Verse 3]
only [C#]seen the dark side of
life the man they called El [Ab]Lute
And he wanted a [Eb]home
just like you and like me
In a country where [Ab]all would be free
So he taught himself to [C#]read and
to write it didn't help El [Ab]Lute
He was one who [Eb]had dared to escape overnight they had [C#]to find
El [Ab]Lute

[Interlude 2]
[Ab][Abm][Gm][Abm][Eb][C#m]

[G][Ab]

[Verse 4]
[G]No one gav[Ab]e you a chance in
the Spain of those [G]days
[Ab]On the walls every place they had put
up the [G]face of El [Db]Lute[C][Bbm]
And he robbed where he could
just like once Robin Hood
They finally [Eb]caught him and
that seemed the end
But they [Ab]caught him in vain 'cause a
[Eb]change came for Spain and El [Ab]Lute

[Verse 5]
He had only seen the [Db]dark side of
life the man they called El [Ab]Lute
And he wanted a [Eb]home
just like you and like me
In a country where [Ab]all would be free
And then freedom really [Db]came to
his land and also to El [Ab]Lute
Now he walks in [Eb]the light of a sunny
new day the man they called El Lute
