* guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
Gm And like some angel's hC7aloed brow
F F7/Eb
You reek of purity
I see your aGrmor plated brCmeast
Has lFong since lost its sGmheen
And Gin your death mask fCmace
There are no siFgns which can be sGmeen
Chorus:
And though I hGmoped for Eb7 something to find
I could Gmsee no Eb7 place to unwind Gm
Verse 2:
Conquistador a vulture sits, upon your silver sheath
And in your rusty scabbard now, the sand has taken seed
And though your jewel-encrusted blade
Has not been plundered still
The sea has washed across your face
And taken of its fill
[repeat chorus]
Verse 3:
Conquistador there is no time, I must pay my respect
And though I came to jeer at you
I leave now with regret
And as the gloom begins to fall
I see there is no, only all
Though you came with sword held high
You did not conquer, only die
[repeat chorus, 2X]
organ solo:
Gm Eb7 [4X]
