[Intro/Solo 1]
| Em | D | Am7 | Am7 | x12

[Verse 1]
Em
He came dancing across the water
D
With his galleons and guns
Am7
Looking for the new world
Am7*
And that palace in the sun

[Verse 2]
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 world

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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

[Solo 2]
| Em | D | Am7 | Am7 | x3

[Verse 5]
