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 palace
 in the sun
Em
And on the shore lay Montezuma
          D
With it's cocoa 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
Continues after the ad
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't 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
to find something else with his 
Am
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
What a killer
