 [Verse 1] 
Em He came dancing across the water
D With his galleons and guns
Am7 Looking for the new world
Am7* In that palace in the sun
 [Verse 2] 
Em On the shore lay Montezuma
D With his coca leaves and pearls
Am7 In his halls he often wandered
Am7* With the secrets of the worlds.
 [Verse 3] 
Em And his subjects gathered 'round him
D Like the leaves around a tree
Am7 In their clothes of many colours
Am7* For the angry gods to see.
 [Verse 4] 
Em And the women all were beautiful
D And the men stood straight and strong
Am7 They offered life in sacrifice
Am7* So that others could go on.
 [Verse 5] 
Em Hate was just a legend
D And war was never known
Am7 The people worked together
Am7* And they lifted many stones
 [Verse 6] 
Em They carried them to the flatlands
D And they died along the way
Am7 But they built up with their bare hands
Am7* What we still can't do today.
 [Verse 7] 
Em And I know she's living there
D And she loves me to this day
Am7 I still can't remember when
Am7* Or how I lost my way.
 [Outro] 
Em He came dancing across the water
D Cortez, Cortez
Am7Am7* Em What a killer.
