He came Emdancing across the water
With his Dgalleons and guns
Am7Looking for the new world
And that palace in the Am7sun
On the Emshore lay Montezuma
With his Dcoca leaves and pearls
In his Am7halls he often wandered
With the secrets of the Am7world
And his Em7subjects gathered 'round him
Like the Dleaves around a tree
In their Am7clothes of many colours
For the angry gods to Am7see
And the Emwomen all were beautiful
And the Dmen stood straight and strong
Am7They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go Am7on

EmHate was just a legend
And Dwar was never known
Am7The people worked together
And they lifted many Am7stones
And they Em7carried them to the flatlands
But they Ddied along the way
And they Am7built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do Am7today
And I Emknow she's living there
And she Dloves me to this day
Am7I still can't remember when
Or how I lost my Am7way
