From the foggy ridge of Highway 35:
******************************************************************
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.

...next up, Emperor of Wyoming -or- I Am A Child
Standard tuning adaptation
RYTHYM:
|/Em7 /D /Am7 / :|| - repeat until you die.

3:21Em7 D
He came dancing across the water w/ his galleons and guns
Am7 /
looking for the new world, and the palace in the sun...
Em7 D 3:45
On the shore lay Montezuma with his cocoa leaves and pearls
Am7 /
in his halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world.
Em7 D 4:00
And his subjects gathered`round him like the leaves around the tree
Am7 /
in their clothes of many colors for the angry gods to see...
Em7 D
And the women all were beautiful & the men stood straight and strong.
Am7 /
they offered life in sacrafice so that others could go on...

5:21Em7 D
Hate was just a legend and war was never known.
Am7 /
people worked together and they lifted many stones...
Em7 D
And they carried them to the flatlands, but they died along the way.
5:45Am7 /
and they built up with their bare hands what we still can't do today.
Em7 D
And I know she's living there, and she loves me to this day
Am7 /
I still can't remember where, or how I lost my way.
