Verse 1
Em7
He came dancing across the water
D5
With his galleons and guns
Am11
Looking for the new world
And the palace in the sun
Em7
On the shore lay Montezuma
D5
With his cocoa leaves and pearls
Am11
In his halls, he often wandered
With the secrets of the worlds
Em7
And his subjects gathered round him
D5
Like the leaves around a tree
Am11
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
Em7
And the women all were beautiful
D5
And the men stood straight and strong
Am11
They offered life in sacrifice

Verse 2
Em7
Hate was just a legend
D5
And war was never known
Am11
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
Em7
And they carried them to the flatlands
D5
But they died along the way
Am11
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today
Em7
And I know she's living there
D5
And she loves me to this day
Am11
I still can't remember when
Solo 2
Or how I lost my way
