[Verse 1]
He came Em7dancing across the water
With his Dsus2galleons and guns
[Am7add11] Looking for the new world
And that palace in the sun
On the Em7shore lay Montezuma
With hisDsus2 coca leaves and pearls
In his [Am7add11]halls, he often wondered
With the secrets of the world
And his Em7subjects
Gathered around him
Like the Dsus2leaves around a tree
In their [Am7add11]clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
And the Em7women all were beautiful
And the Dsus2men stood
Straight and strong
[Am7add11] They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on

[Verse 2]
Em7Hate was just a legend
And Dsus2war was never known
[Am7add11] The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
And they Em7carried them
To the flatlands
But they Dsus2died along the way
And they [Am7add11]built up
With their bare hands
What we still can't do today
And I Em7know she's living there
And she Dsus2loves me to this day
[Am7add11] I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my way
