[Intro] C G C C [Verse 1]
C                              Am
Malinche was an Indian maid of old Mexico

    F                     C
She dreamed someday she'd be a wife

    G                 C
She hoped it would be so
[Chorus 1]
    Dm
But Malinche fell for a conqueror

     Dm
That landed his ship at bay

    G#
His skin was fair like a new moon

                      C         G
He'd sailed from far away, far away
[Verse 2]
    C
Now Cortes saw this Indian girl

       Am
As his stallion carried him through

    F                   C
The battlefield that he had won

      G                   C
Where blood laid like the dew
[Chorus 2]
   Dm
He courted the girl of the new world

    Dm
And taught her to live his way

    G#
But Malinche knew deep in her heart

                        C               G    G
That he would leave someday, leave some day
[Solo] C C Am Am F C G C C [Verse 3]
    C
His armies took the mainland

   Am
Outnumbered three hundred to one

F                     C
Driven by the lure of treasure

           G           C
And of the glory to be won
[Chorus 3]
        Dm
Then he sailed away to his homeland

Dm
Malinche knew she was right

          G#
Cause her heart was on that Spanish ship

               C
Sailing out of sight

       G            C
Out of sight out of sight

       G            C
Out of sight out of sight
