Ballad of Lupe Montosa
Peacemakers
from David Cushman, http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dcushman/guitar.html
Lyrics from "Semifamous," http://www.semifamous.com
Intro:
G G C C G
G C
Well, they shot poor old Lupe Montosa
G D
They gunned him down about the bootlegger's spring
G B7(x24242)
They stole his only silver ring
C7(x35353) A7(575655)
They wrecked all his distilling things
G D G
And made a widow of his sweet little wife Rosa
G C
They found an old curandero, to bury the mescalero
G D
While his family cried for thirteen nights and days...
G Bm Em D C
When Lupito asked his momma why his papa had to go and die,
Em Am Em G
She said, "Dios works in the most loco of ways"
Interlude: G G C G
G C
So, the Padre tried to settle down, the angry mob that gathered round
G D D7
He said, "Let no more tears flow, let's let no more blood spill.
G Bm Em D C
People don't you take revenge, in time the lord will surely avenge this crime
G D C G
For Lupe, and the untimely death of our still."
G C
Well, they shot poor old Lupe Montosa
G D
They gunned him down about the bootlegger's spring
G B7
They stole his only silver ring
C7 A7
They wrecked all his distilling things
G D G
And made a widow of his sweet little wife Rosa
Solo
G G C C D D G E D G G G G
G C
When they found the man who shot down poor old Lupe,
G D
You know their lives were just barely a-flicker...
G B7
See they'd all lost their minds,
C7 A7
Each one was permanently blind,
G D G
With drinking too much of poor Lupe's good liquor
G C
Yeah, they shot down poor Lupe Montosa
G D
They gunned him down about the bootlegger's spring
G B7
They stole his only silver ring
C7 A7
They wrecked all his distilling things
G D G
And made a widow of his sweet little wife Rosa
Outro:
