  	       * 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]

  	/ / / /  / / / /

  

  [repeat chorus; end cold on Gm]
