Cortez the Killer - Neil Young and Crazy Horse
Album - ZUMA (banned in Spain at one time, go figur')

The chord voicing is generally: Em7, D and Am7. On Zuma and live,
variations off the root come in, a la Em, Dsus2, Dsus4, Am7, Am
Am7sus4, Asus2, etc... So PLEASE play around with it for the rythym
sections, AND whilst improvising when soloing.
This was tabbed out using a gut strung beater during my move to a
new home, so perhaps the positions might not be as suitable as
they would via an electric, as well as the standard tuning.

He came dancing across the water ...
Am7 /
looking for the new world, ...
Em7 D 3:45
On the shore lay Montezuma ...
Am7 /
in his halls he often wandered .....
Em7 D 4:00
And his subjects gathered`round ....
Am7 /
in their clothes of many colors ...
Em7 D
And the women all were beautiful ...
Am7 /
they offered life in sacrafice ....
