Tonality
Em D Am



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 itʼs coco leaves and pearls
Am
In itʼs halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world
Em
And his subjects gather ʼround 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

Em D Am

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 sheʼs living there
    D
And loves me to this day
Am
Canʼt remember when or how I lost my way

Em D Am

Em
There was this man, he wasnʼt 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
Heʼs looking down now
And Iʼm sorry for every time I raped you
And Iʼm sorry for every time I sold you
Am
And Iʼm sorry for every time I bought you
And Iʼm sorry for every time I hurt you
And Iʼm sorry for every time
Iʼm sorry for every time
Iʼm sorry for every time
Em
He came dancing across the waters
D
Cortez, Cortez
Am
What a killer
