Cortez the Killer piano leadsheet with chords
He came dancing across the water
with his galleons and guns,
in their lookin' for the New World and the palace in the sun.
On the shore lay Montezuma ful with his coca leaves and pearls;
in his house he often wanridered with the secrets of the worlds.
And his subjects a gathered 'round him,
like the leaves around the tree,
in their clothes of many colors for the angry gods to see.
And the women all were beauti ful and the men stood straight and strong;
in they offered life in sacrifice so that others could go on.
And his Hate was just a legend
and 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,
end and she loves me to this day;
I still can't remem when and or how I lost my way.
He came dancing across the water,
but they died Cortez, Cortez.
and they What a killer.
bare hands what we still can't do today.
And I
