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