[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D                       Em
   In a town near Albuquerque
A7                        D
   Lived a most concerned young boy
                         Em
He said, "Lately, I have noticed
A7                                D
   Folks don't live with peace and joy
                                 Em
With frowns and worries in their faces
A7                                      D
   They're lost and don't know where to go
                           Em
I'll try to get the people straightened
A7                        D
   By putting on a puppet show"


[Chorus]
    D                 Em
The young New Mexican puppeteer
   A7                      D
He thought that people all lived in fear
                             Em
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
  A7                  D
A puppet telling them what to do
                          Em
He got some string and he got some wood
   A7                   D
He did some carving and he was good
                      Em
Folks came running so they could hear
    A7                D
The young New Mexican puppeteer


[Verse 2]
D                                 Em
   First, he carved out young Abe Lincoln
A7                            D
   Abe would teach them civil rights
                         Em
Then a King named Martin Luther
A7                               D
   So they'd recall his peaceful fight
                            Em
Old Mark Twain, his wit and wisdom
A7                               D
   Will surely show them life is fun
                        Em
But he smiled with satisfaction
A7                              D
   When the Prince of Peace was done
D#


[Verse 3]
D#                            Fm
   Now, his puppet shows were clever
A#7                       D#
   And he made the people laugh
                             Fm
And they wrote him up in the papers
A#7                           D#
   And this is what the story said:


[Chorus]
    D#                Fm
The young New Mexican puppeteer
   A#7                 D#
He saw that people all lived in fear
                             Fm
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
  A#7                 D#
A puppet telling them what to do
                          Fm
He got some string and he got some wood
   A#7                  D#
He did some carving and he was good
                          Fm
And folks came running so they could hear
    A#7               D#
The young New Mexican puppeteer
B7


[Outro Chorus]
    E                 F#m
The young New Mexican puppeteer
   B7                  E
He saw that people all lived in fear
                             F#m
He thought that maybe they'd listen to
  B7                  E
A puppet telling them what to do
                          F#m
He got some string and he got some wood
   B7                   E
He did some carving and he was good
                          F#m
And folks came running so they could hear
    B7                E
