The Young New Mexican Puppeteer chords by Tom Jones

Chords with lyrics

Chord diagramG+G                  Chord diagramA minorAm
In a town near Albuquerque
Chord diagramD MajorD                            Chord diagramG+G
Lived a most concerned young boy
Chord diagramG+G                     Chord diagramA minorAm
He said lately I have noticed
Chord diagramD MajorD                               Chord diagramG+G
Folks don't live with peace and joy

Chord diagramG+G                              Chord diagramA minorAm
With frowns and worry on their faces
Chord diagramD MajorD                                    Chord diagramG+G
They're lost and don't know where to go
Chord diagramG+G                           Chord diagramA minorAm
He said I'll get the people straightened
Chord diagramD MajorD                      Chord diagramG+G
By putting on a puppet show

Chord diagramG+G                     Chord diagramA minorAm
The young New Mexican puppeteer
   Chord diagramD MajorD                  Chord diagramG+G
He saw the people all lived in fear
Chord diagramG+G                            Chord diagramA minorAm
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
  Chord diagramD MajorD                   Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramA augmentedA puppet telling them what to do

Chord diagramG+G                                  Chord diagramA minorAm
You know he got some string and he got some wood
   Chord diagramD MajorD                    Chord diagramG+G
He did some carving and he was good
Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramA minorAm
And folks came running so they could hear
    Chord diagramD MajorD                 Chord diagramG+G
The young New Mexican puppeteer

Chord diagramG#G#                        Chord diagramA#mA#m
First he carved out young Abe Lincoln
Chord diagramD#D#                        Chord diagramG#G#
Abe will teach 'em civil rights
Chord diagramG#G#                       Chord diagramA#mA#m
Then a King named Martin Luther
Chord diagramD#D#                            Chord diagramG#G#
So they'd recall his peaceful fight

Chord diagramG#G#                          Chord diagramA#mA#m
Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
Chord diagramD#D#                            Chord diagramG#G#
Will surely show them life is fun
Chord diagramG#G#                      Chord diagramA#mA#m
But he smiled with satisfaction
Chord diagramD#D#                           Chord diagramG#G#
When the Prince of Peace was done

Chord diagramG#G#                    Chord diagramA#mA#m
The young New Mexican puppeteer
Chord diagramD#D#                    Chord diagramG#G#
He saw the people all lived in fear
Chord diagramG#G#                           Chord diagramA#mA#m
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
Chord diagramD#D#                    Chord diagramG#G#
Chord diagramA augmentedA puppet telling them what to do

Chord diagramG#G#                                 Chord diagramA#mA#m
You know he got some string and he got some wood
Chord diagramD#D#                      Chord diagramG#G#
He did some carving and he was good
Chord diagramG#G#                        Chord diagramA#mA#m
And folks came running so they could hear
Chord diagramD#D#                    Chord diagramG#G#
The young New Mexican puppeteer

Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramB minorBm
Now his puppet shows were clever
Chord diagramE MajorE                      Chord diagramA augmentedA
And he made the people laugh
Chord diagramE MajorE                      Chord diagramB minorBm
When he got across the message
Chord diagramE MajorE                         Chord diagramA augmentedA
To walk along life's open path

Chord diagramA augmentedA                             Chord diagramB minorBm
They built him his own puppet theatre
Chord diagramE MajorE                                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
Decked out with spotlights yellow and red
Chord diagramA augmentedA                                     Chord diagramB minorBm
And then they wrote him up in all the papers
Chord diagramE MajorE                          Chord diagramA augmentedA
And this is what the story said

It said...
Chord diagramA augmentedA                     Chord diagramB minorBm
The young New Mexican puppeteer
Chord diagramE MajorE                              Chord diagramA augmentedA
He saw the people all lived in fear
Chord diagramA augmentedA                                Chord diagramB minorBm
He thought that maybe they would listen to
Chord diagramE MajorE                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
Chord diagramA augmentedA puppet telling them what to do

Chord diagramA augmentedA                                  Chord diagramB minorBm
You know he got some string and he got some wood
Chord diagramE MajorE                       Chord diagramA augmentedA
He did some carving and he was good
Chord diagramA augmentedA                         Chord diagramB minorBm
And folks came running so they could hear
Chord diagramE MajorE                     Chord diagramA augmentedA
