This is a combo of two versions.

-----------------------------------

Em D Am x2

Em

He came dancing across the water

D

With his galleons and guns

Am

Looking for a new world and a place in the sun

Em

And on the shore lay Montezuma

D

With it's coco leaves and pearls

Am

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

Em

And his subjects gather 'round him

D

Like the leaves around the trees

Am

Clothed in many colors for the angry gods to see

Em

And the women all were beautiful

D

And the men stood straight and strong

Am

He offered life and sacrifice so that others might go on

jam on * Em D Am * for a few times

Em

Now hate was just a legend

D

And war was never known

Am

The people worked together and they lifted many stones

Em

And they carried them across the flatlands

D

But they died along the way

Am

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

Em

And I know she's living there

D

And loves me to this day

Am

Can't remember when or how I lost my way

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

Em

There was this man, he wasn't satisfied

D

He crossed all the oceans

Am

to find something else with his greedy hands and his

raping heart and his mind that said war to take everything

Em

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

Am

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

Em

He came dancing across the waters

D

Cortez, Cortez

Am [stop]

What a killer
