He was only 19 and was sentenced to die for something that somebody else did and blamed
[Db] on El Luta.
[Fm] [Bbm]
Then they changed it to life and so he could escape.
From then [Eb] on they chased him and searched for him day and night [Ab] all over Spain.
But the [Eb] search was in vain for [Ab] El Luta.
He had only [Db] seen the dark side of life, the man they [Ab] called El Luta.
And he walked [Eb] like you and like me in a country [Ab] where all would be free.
So he taught [Db] himself to read and to write.
He didn't [Ab] have a luta.
He was one who [Eb] had dared to escape.
Overnight they [Db] had to find [Ab] El Luta.
[Abm]
Soon the flame of his name spread like wildfire [Eb] all over the land.
[Dbm] With a price on his head people still gave him bread [Eb] and they gave him a hand.

[Eb] For they knew he was right [Ab] and his fight was their fight.
No one gave him a chance in the Spain of those days.
On the walls of every place they had put up the face of [Db] El Luta.
[Ab] [Bbm]
And he robbed where he could just like one swabbing fruit.
They finally [Eb] caught him and that seemed the end.
But [Ab] they caught him in vain.
Cause [Eb] of change came for Spain and [Ab] El Luta.
He had only [Db] seen the dark side of life, the man they called [Ab] El Luta.
And he wanted [Eb] a home just like you and like me in a country [Ab] where all would be free.
And then freedom [Db] really came to his land and also to [Ab] El Luta.
