Neil Young – Cortez The Killer (Guitar Acoustic)

Em              Em
He came dancing across the water

F#m            D
With his galleons and guns

Am
Looking for the new world

Am7/E
In that palace in the sun

Em              Em
On the shore lay Montezuma

F#m            D
With his coca leaves and pearls

Am
In his halls he often wondered

Am7/E
With the secrets of the worlds

Em              E5
And his subjects gathered around him

F#m             D
Like the leaves around a tree

Am         
In their clothes of many colors

Am7/E
For the angry gods to see

Em              E5
And the women all were beautiful

F#m             D
And the men stoodS traight and strong

Am
They offered life in sacrifice

Am7/E
So that others could go on

Em              E5
Hate was just a legend

F#m            D
And war was never known

Am
The people worked together

Am7/E
And they lifted many stones

Em              E5
They carried them to the flat lands

F#m            D
And they died along the way

Am
But they built up with their bare hands

Am7/E
What we still can't do today

Em              E5
And I know she's living there

F#m            D
And she loves me to this day

Am
I still can't remember when

Am7/E
Or how I lost my way

Em              E5
He came dancing across the water

F#m            D
Cortez, Cortez

Am              Am7/E
What a killer
