Cortez the Killer

Em7 He came dancing across the water D with his galleons and guns, Am7 lookin' for the new world and the palace in the sun. Em7 On the shore lay Montezuma D with his coca leaves and pearls; Am7 in it's house he often wandered with the secrets of the worlds. And his subjects gathered round him, like a leaves around the tree, in their clothes of many colors for the angry gods to see. And the women all were beautiful and the men stood straight and strong; they offered life in sacrifice so that others could go on. Hate was just a legend and war was never known; people worked together and they lifted many stones. And they carried them to the flatlands, but they died along the way, and they built up with their bare hands what we still can't do today. And I know she's living there, and she loves me to this day; I still can't remember when or how I lost my way. He came dancing across the water, Cortez, Cortez. What a killer. --------- For this song you need a double dropped D tuning (Neil's favourite alternative tuning). Just tune both E strings down a tone (a whole step) so they both end up at D. Check them with the 'normal' D string to check they're in tune. Chord Shapes : -------------- DADGBD DADGBD DADGBD 222000 000230 x02010}
