 (in 4/4 time)
 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
