He came dancing across the water
D
With his galleons and guns
Am7
Looking for the new world
Am7*
In that palace in the sun
Em
On the shore lay Montezuma
D
With his coca leaves and pearls
Am7
In his halls he often wandered
Am7*
With the secrets of the worlds
Em
And his subjects gathered ' round him
D
Like the leaves around a tree
Am7
In their clothes of many colours
Am7*
For the angry gods to see
Em
And the women all were beautiful
D
And the men stood straight and strong
Am7
They offered life in sacrifice
Am7*
So that others could go on

Em
Hate was just a legend
D
And war was never known
Am7
The people worked together
Am7*
And they lifted many stones
Em
They carried them to the flatlands
D
But they died along the way
Am7
And they built up with their bare hands
Am7*
What we still can' t do today
Em
And I know she' s living there
D
And she loves me to this day
Am7
I still can' t remember when
Am7*
Or how I lost my way
