Текст песни Stu Phillips — The Great El Tigre + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
[Intro]
E E A A
[Verse 1]
A A A A
Can that be The Great El Tigre sitting there,
A A E Eb
that gray haired old man on the bench in the village square?
D D A A
Could he be that famous bandit of days gone by,
E E D E A A (let ring)
can he be the fierce El Tigre or did the real El Tigre die?
[Chorus]
E E A A
He'll be remembered forever more
E E A A
by the rich that he stole from and the poor he stole for.
[Verse 2]
A A A A
He once met a señorita on a raid,
A A E Eb
sweet little Juanita who smiled up at him unafraid.
D D A A
And eyes hard as steel softened up at the sight that they saw
E E
and love found a heart no bullet
D E A A (let ring)
had been able to find before.
[Chorus]
E E A A
Though he was a bandido with a price on his head,
E E A A (let ring)
"te amo querida", "take me with you" she said.
[Interlude]
E E A A
[Verse 3]
A A A A
Can that be The Great El Tigre sitting there,
A A E Eb
that old man asleep on the bench in the village square?
D D A A
And as he dreams, a sweet old señora appears
E E
and then as she gently wakes him
D E A A (let ring)
she whispers into his ear:
[End-Chorus]
E E A A
Querida mia, the time, it has flown,
E E (let ring) A (let ring)
vamanos mi bandido, it's time we went home.
