Conquistador — Procol Harum

Verse

distorted guitar, doubled with bass: v v v v v v v v v v v v v v guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse

Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company

And like some angel's haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armor plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen

Chorus

And though I hoped for something to find I could see no place to unwind

Verse

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

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 }

Organ solo: Gm Eb7 }
