* guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
Gm
C7
And
like some angel's haloed brow
F
F7/Eb
You reek
of purity
G
Cm
I see your armor
plated breast
F
Gm
Has long since lost
its sheen
G
Cm
And in your death mask
face
F
Gm
There are no signs
which can be seen
Chorus:
Gm Eb7
And though I hoped for
something to find
Gm Eb7
Gm
I could see no
place to unwind
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]
