Em   D   Am    x2

EmEm Piano Chord 

He came dancing across the water
DD Piano Chord 

With his galleons and guns
AmAm Piano Chord 

Looking for a new world and a place in the sun
EmEm Piano Chord 

And on the shore lay Montezuma
DD Piano Chord 

With it's coco leaves and pearls
AmAm Piano Chord 

In it's halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world
EmEm Piano Chord 

And his subjects gather 'round him
DD Piano Chord 

Like the leaves around the trees
AmAm Piano Chord 

Clothed in many colors for the angry gods to see
EmEm Piano Chord 

And the women all were beautiful
DD Piano Chord 

And the men stood straight and strong
AmAm Piano Chord 

He offered life and sacrifice so that others might go on

jam on * Em  D  Am * for a few times

EmEm Piano Chord 

Now hate was just a legend
DD Piano Chord 

And war was never known
AmAm Piano Chord 

The people worked together and they lifted many stones
EmEm Piano Chord 

And they carried them across the flatlands
DD Piano Chord 

But they died along the way
AmAm Piano Chord 

Built up with their bare hands what we still can do today
EmEm Piano Chord 

And I know she's living there
DD Piano Chord 

And loves me to this day
AmAm Piano Chord 

Can't remember when or how I lost my way

jam on * Em  D  Am * for awhile...stop when it feels right

EmEm Piano Chord 

There was this man, he wasn't satisfied
DD Piano Chord 

He crossed all the oceans
AmAm Piano Chord 

to find something else with his greedy hands and his
raping heart and his mind that said war to take everything
EmEm Piano Chord 

He's looking down now
And I'm sorry for every time I raped you
And I'm sorry for every time I sold you
AmAm Piano Chord 

And I'm sorry for every time I bought you
And I'm sorry for every time I hurt you
And I'm sorry for every time
I'm sorry for every time
I'm sorry for every time
EmEm Piano Chord 

He came dancing across the waters

Cortez, Cortez
Am           [stop]
