The Last Conquistador Chords

(ver. 1)
Gruff Rhys
[Verse]
 
G              D          Em          Dm
I am the last conquistador,
C              D                      C                    D
I am well meaning and intentions are earnest,
I am the first to document.
My route is new an my spirit enlightened,
 
[Bridge]
 
F                               Dm
I kept hold for your letters,
F                                    Dm    Em       F
But maybe it would be better if they burn.
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Em               Dm
Burst at the seams,
Dm                 Em               F                G
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me,
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Em               Dm
Hollowed and squeezed,
Dm             Em          F          G
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me,
Dm            Em           F              G
Stepped into darkness only stars left to guide me
 
[Verse 2]
 
G              D       Em          Dm
Still I'm the last conquistador,
C           D                      C                    D
I keep on going,      Though the going ain't          easy.
G              D      Em          Dm
And now my mind's in farrago,
C           D           C         D
All jumbled up, in the promise of empire.
 
[Bridge]
 
F                        Dm
I'm still searching for Beulah,
F                   Dm      Em     F
And one day I will hold her in my arms.
 
[Chorus]
 
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Em               Dm
Burst at the seams,
Dm                 Em               F                G
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me,
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Em               Dm
Hollowed and squeezed,
 
 
Dm          Em         F          G
I'm so delirious I'm oblivious to previous,
 
Dm      Em           F             G
Hallucinations of a fool, that deceived us.
 
Dm      Em           F           G
A combination of disease and confusion.
 
Am               G         F         G
My whole life's work, was just an illusion.
 
Dm Em F G
 
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Em               Dm
Burst at the seams,
Dm                 Em               F                G
My route was clear but a cloud fell upon me,
Am  G                 F
Blueberries and dreams,
Dm      Em          F          G
A combination of disease and confusion.
Am               G         F         G
My whole life's work, was just an illusion.
 
 
the whole song of the song repeats the pattern of the first couple of verses - no middle 8
 
This is nonetheless one of the best songs ever written.
