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
