Verse
A
He was only nineteen and was sentenced to die
D Bm
for something that somebody else did and blamed on El Lute.
Then they changed it to life and so he could escape
E
from then on they chased him and searched for him day and night
A E E7 A
all over Spain but the search was in vain for El Lute.
[Chorus]
A7 D A
He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute
E E7
and he wanted a home just like you and like me
A A7
in a country where all would be free.
D A
So he taught himself to read and to write it didn't help El Lute
E E7
he was one who had dared to escape overnight
D A
they had to find El Lute.

[Bridge]
Am E
Soon the fame of his name spread like wild fire all over the land
Dm
with a price on his head people still gave him bread
E Am
and they gave him a hand
E A
for they knew he was right and his fight was their fight.
[Verse 2]
A
No one gave you a chance in the Spain of those days
D Bm
on the walls every place they had put up the face of El Lute.
And he robbed where he could just like once Robin Hood
E
they finally caught him and that seemed the end.
A E
But they caught him in vain 'cause a change came for Spain
A
and El Lute.
[Chorus]
A7 D A
He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute
E E7
and he wanted a home just like you and like me
A A7
in a country where all would be free.
D A
And then freedom really came to his land and also to El Lute
E E7
Now he walks in the light of a sunny new day
D A
The man they called El Lute
[Outro]
A7 D A
He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute
E E7
and he wanted a home just like you and like me
A A7
in a country where all would be free.
