Fm D# A#m x2 Fm He came dancing across the water D# With his galleons and guns A#m Looking for a new world and a place in the sun Fm And on the shore lay Montezuma D# With itʼs coco leaves and pearls A#m In itʼs halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world Fm And his subjects gather ʼround him D# Like the leaves around the trees A#m Clothed in many colors for the angry gods to see Fm And the women all were beautiful D# And the men stood straight and strong A#m He offered life and sacrifice so that others might go on Fm D# A#m Fm Now hate was just a legend D# And war was never known A#m The people worked together and they lifted many stones Fm And they carried them across the flatlands D# But they died along the way A#m Built up with their bare hands what we still can do today Fm And I know sheʼs living there D# And loves me to this day A#m Canʼt remember when or how I lost my way Fm D# A#m Fm There was this man, he wasnʼt satisfied D# He crossed all the oceans A#m to find something else with his greedy hands and his raping heart and his mind that said war to take everything Fm Heʼs looking down now And Iʼm sorry for every time I raped you And Iʼm sorry for every time I sold you A#m 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 Fm He came dancing across the waters D# Cortez, Cortez A#m What a killer
