  • Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauo-
    Tamateaturipukakapikimaungahoro-
    Nukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu
    Me Tonto Kimosabi
    Me go and catchee baddy
    Find him by the shady water
    Deep within Apache forest
    Find him scalp him eat him up for breakfast
    Real good friend to Kimosabi
    Save another silver bullet
    Hi ho Silver away
    Ride into tomorrow today
    But who was that masked man you say
    That was the Lone Ranger
    Fill up pipe of peace for Tonto
    Kimosabi friend and brother
    He smoke pipe of peace with Tonto
    Put his mask on back to fronto
    Tonto fall about with laughter
    He a head our great white brother
    Even pass a tote to Silver
    Mask man very untogether
    Hi ho Silver away
    Ride into tomorrow today
    But who was that masked man you say
    That was the Lone Ranger
    Taumatawhakatangihangakoayauo-
    Tamateaturipukakapikimaungahoro-
    Nukypokaiwhenuakitanatahu
    Tonto know that Kimosabi
    Never ever have a woman
    Tonto sometime stop and wonder
    What the trip with the great white brother
    Maybe masked man he a poofter
    Try it on with surly Tonto
    Let me say to mister lawman
    Tonto doesn't mind
    Hi ho Silver away
    Ride into tomorrow today
    But who was that masked man you say
    That was the Lone Ranger

  • David from Liverpool, United KingdomGreat record - only 2 chords! :) I learnt to say the big word at the beginning. I had too much time on my hands in those days (and obviously no girlfriend). LOL!
