Conquistador chords
Procol Harum 1967 (K Reid / G Brooker)
 
Capo III
 
Em
 
Em                A7
Conquistador your stallion stands 
D               D7
In need of company 
Em                    A7
And like some angel's haloed brow 
D               D7
You reek of purity 
 
D7         E             Am
I see your armour-plated breast 
    D                    Em
Has long since lost it's sheen 
    E                  Am
And in your death mask face 
             D                  Em
There are no signs which can be seen 
 
             Em        C7
And though I hoped for something to find 
        Em     C7
I could see no maze to unwind 
 
Em             A7
Conquistador a vulture sits 
D                D7
Upon your silver shield 
Em                A7
And in your rusty scabbard now 
D                  D7
The sand has taken seed 
 
D7              E               Am
And though your jewel-encrusted blade 
    D                  Em
Has not been plundered still 
    E               Am
The sea has washed across your face 
    D             Em
And taken of it's fill 
 
             Em        C7
And though I hoped for something to find 
        Em     C7
I could see no maze to unwind 
 
Em                 A7
Conquistador there is no time 
D                D7
I must pay my respect 
Em                   A7
And though I came to jeer at you 
D                  D7
I leave now with regret 
 
D7         E               Am
And as the gloom begins to fall 
  D                     Em
I see there is no, only all 
               E                    Am
And though you came with sword held high 
            D             Em
You did not conquer, only die 
 
             Em        C7
And though I hoped for something to find 
        Em     C7
I could see no maze to unwind 
 
             Em        C7
And though I hoped for something to find 
        Em     C7
I could see no maze to unwind 
 
Break
 
             Em        C7
And though I hoped for something to find 
        Em     C7
I could see no maze to unwind
