[Verse 1]
G He was only nineteen and was sentenced to die C Am for something that somebody else did 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 D7 G all over Spain but the search was in vain for El Lute.
[Chorus]
G7 C G He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute D D7 and he wanted a home just like you and like me G G7 in a country where all would be free. C G So he taught himself to read and to write it didn't help El Lute D D7 he was one who had dared to escape overnight C G they had to find El Lute.

Gm D Soon the fame of his name spread 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 G for they knew he was right and his fight was their fight.
[Verse 2]
G No one gave you a chance in the Spain of those days C Am 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
D they finally caught him and that seemed the end. G D But they caught him in vain 'cause a change came for Spain G and El Lute.
[Chorus]
G7 C G He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute D D7 and he wanted a home just like you and like me G G7 in a country where all would be free. C G And then freedom really came to his land and also to El Lute D D7 Now he walks in the light of a sunny new day C G The man they called El Lute
[Outro]
G7 C G He had only seen the dark side of life the man they called El Lute D D7 and he wanted a home just like you and like me G G7 in a country where all would be free.
