[Verse]
Am7     Em7                     
He came dancin' across the water
         D                
With his galleons and guns
Am7                          
■   Lookin' for the new world
                      G  
And the palace in the sun
       Em7                
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


[Chorus]
G         Em       Em7                
■ And his subjects gathered 'round him
         D                   
Like the leaves around a tree
         Am7                   
In their clothes of many colors
                      Am7
For the angry gods to see
        Em7                     
And the women all were beautiful
        D                            
And the men stood straight and strong
Am7                           
They offered life in sacrifice
                        Em7
So that others could go on

[Verse]
Em7                   
Hate was just a legend
D                      
And war was never known
Am7                       
■   People worked together
         Am7               
And they lifted many stones
         Em7                           
And they carried them to the flat lands
         D                 
But they died along the way
         Am7                           
And they built up with their bare hands
                       Asus4
What we still can't do today


[Chorus]
      Em7                    
And I know she's livin' there
        D                   
And she loves me to this day
Am7                            
■   I still can't remember when
                 G  
Or how I lost my way
