Cortez the Killer (Live)-Neil Young/Crazy Horse

[00:00.00]Cortez The Killer [01:30.00] [03:22.99]He came dancing across the water [03:27.07]With his galleons and guns [03:32.25]Looking for the new world [03:35.67]In that palace in the sun. [03:39.87]On the shore lay Montezuma [03:43.86]With his coca leaves and pearls [03:48.45]In his halls he often wondered [03:52.71]With the secrets of the worlds. [03:56.73]And his subjects gathered 'round him [04:00.56]Like the leaves around a tree [04:05.01]In their clothes of many colors [04:09.23]For the angry gods to see. [04:13.46]And the women all were beautiful [04:17.77]And the men stood straight and strong [04:22.79]They offered life in sacrifice [04:26.21]So that others could go on. [05:20.59]Hate was just a legend [05:25.08]And war was never known [05:29.93]The people worked together [05:33.19]And they lifted many stones. [05:37.53]They carried them to the flatlands [05:41.54]And they died along the way [05:45.66]But they built up with their bare hands [05:49.71]What we still can't do today. [05:54.02]And I know she's living there [05:58.10]And she loves me to this day [06:03.10]I still can't remember when [06:07.34]Or how I lost my way. [06:44.45]He came dancing across the water [06:49.45]Cortez, Cortez [06:54.08]What a killer.
