_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
down [A] in Mexico, _ _
[C] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
the Spanish [C] and _ _ Galileans drew [A] near,
_ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _
and the _ Aztec warriors _
[C] watched _ _ _ from the [D] _
_ _ _ mountainside, _ _ _ [A] with a fear in their eye, [C] as clear as their
end, it [A] was near.
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] El _ Cortez had come with [C] his men and his guns, [D] and the Spanish _ _ Christ _ alive [A] on his lip.
_ And _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ as soon as he touched ground, [C] the men wanted to turn around, [D] but he burned down
their _ turnaround [A] ship. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ Yeah, they crossed all that with _ [C] a cannon _ and fodder, [D] if need be, to slaughter, for
gods and for [A] gold. _
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ But [A] he wouldn't let no man talk [C] him into being anything [D] _ other _ _ than _ _ _ Conquistador, [A] boy.

[G] in _ _ _ _ _ [A] a _ paradise. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [F] washing _ [C] away the hard line [F] from your _ _ [C] California past.
