Malinche Chords

(ver. 1)
Johnny Paycheck
[Intro]
C     G     C     C
 
[Verse 1]
C                              Am
Malinche was an Indian maid of old Mexico
    F                     C
She dreamed someday she'd be a wife
    G                 C
She hoped it would be so
 
[Chorus 1]
    Dm
But Malinche fell for a conqueror
     Dm
That landed his ship at bay
    G#
His skin was fair like a new moon
                      C         G
He'd sailed from far away, far away
 
[Verse 2]
    C
Now Cortes saw this Indian girl
       Am
As his stallion carried him through
    F                   C
The battlefield that he had won
      G                   C
Where blood laid like the dew
 
[Chorus 2]
   Dm
He courted the girl of the new world
    Dm
And taught her to live his way
    G#
But Malinche knew deep in her heart
                        C               G    G
That he would leave someday, leave some day
 
[Solo]
C     C     Am     Am     F     C     G     C     C
 
[Verse 3]
    C
His armies took the mainland
   Am
Outnumbered three hundred to one
F                     C
Driven by the lure of treasure
           G           C
And of the glory to be won
 
[Chorus 3]
        Dm
Then he sailed away to his homeland
Dm
Malinche knew she was right
          G#
Cause her heart was on that Spanish ship
               C
Sailing out of sight
       G            C
Out of sight out of sight
       G            C
Out of sight out of sight
