He came [Em]dancing 
across the water
With his ga[D]lleons and guns
[Am7]Looking for the new world
In that palace in the s[Am7*]un

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
On the s[Em]hore lay Montezuma
With his c[D]oca leaves and pearls
[Am7]In his halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the w[Am7*]orlds

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
And his s[Em]ubjects 
gathered round him
Like the le[D]aves around a tree
In their cl[Am7]othes 
of many colours
For the angry gods to [Am7*]see

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
And the wo[Em]men 
all were beautiful
And the m[D]en stood 
straight and strong
They of[Am7]fered life in sacrifice
So that others could go [Am7*]on

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
Hate[Em]was just a legend
And [D]war was never known
The [Am7]people worked together
And they lifted many sto[Am7*]nes

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
They c[Em]arried them 
to the flatlands
And they [D]died along the way
But they [Am7]built up 
with their bare hands
What we still can't do to[Am7*]day

{C:Am7 x02010 Am7* x05530}
And I [Em]know she's living there
And she [D]loves me to this day
[Am7]I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my [Am7*]way
