[Verse 1]
Em D Em
They came 500 years ago,
Em D Em
they stole the gold of Mexico,
Em G A
killed the people one by one,
Am G D B
only talking with their guns.
Em D Em
Brave men locked on iron chains.
Em D Em
All young mothers sold as slaves,
Em G A
Babies crying through the night,
Am G D B
will they ever see a light.
[Chorus]
Em D
Golden dreams of Eldorado -
G A D B
all have drowned in seas of pain and blood.
Em D
Golden dreams of Eldorado
G A Bm Bm
may come true but only in your heart.

the search for happiness has never ended,

But the gates of Eden will ever be closed

for those conquistadores who are only hungry
