Verse 1
G
Gm
G
F
G
I
Gm
G
am Christopher Columbus.
Just call me Chris.
I am he who did miss the land, India.
I thought I'd discover that
which was never.
How clever of me to see
the land beyond.
I came to tame and claim
in the name of Spain.
I am Chris.
Don't diss my history.
I inspired Hawkins, Livingston,
Mussolini, Botak, Bush.
I exterminated, perpetuated hatred
against red men, yellow men,
with black men I make no friend.
I attack Arawak,
cut off their head,
wrote instead that the Caribs
ate them like bread.
F
I never told you this before,
F#
G
but my chief navigator was a Moor.
C
You know the Moors.
G
They discovered Spain,
those Blacks who came from
the African terrain.
The idea that the world was round,
I got from these same Blacks
in some little Spanish town.
Now you may ask,
what was Blacks doing there,
but they ruled us for over 700 years.
They made a great mistake then.
Instead of enslaving us,
they made us their friend.
Eb
G
Some survived, stayed alive,
fought the invasion,
European division, English aggression,
the fight between Europe
and European expansion.
I wrote your history for you.
Did not tell you true.
Not all black men came as slaves.
Listen, you will know the truth
in the waves that brought the ships.
Lips lie to keep intact
oppression of black skin.
A sin, a myth, I am Chris.
The church perch on the opportunity
to spread the religion of
the dead.
True misconception,
the assumption that this world
was new.
The wind blew us
to save the earth
from beasts like men.
Friend, I am not.
Blot out the spot who claim
they are men like us.
I am Christopher Columbus.
I gave you a power over all the earth
500 years of your blood sweat and tears
now you celebrate
Recreate your death
Let the glasses touch
with the blood
of your fathers and mothers
Give a toast.
Oh, it's my arrival.
You're dying my survival
The land is still mine.
The Pope is still the divine
Yes, drink your own blood, call it wine,
nothing in the pages of my history
will block out your misery.
You shall celebrate my victory.
Your children praise me.
I am their only history.
I am Christopher Columbus.
I died, but you made me live.
Give me the sea once more,
let me discover you again.
The stain, my father's son's rule.
Fool, you celebrate my coming.
I will not go, not from your mind.
Restore me for all to see.
Keepers of life,
shepherds of my people.
Lead them to the altar of lies.
Your ancestors' cries will not be heard.
Word after word,
pages of history written,
the victims are once more beaten.
F
1492, to you,
the beginning of Western
world democracy.
1492, to me,
the beginning of white supremacy.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad

This is the best guitar tuner ever.

“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
