# "Conquistador"
# (Gary Brooker - Keith Reid)
#
#(Note: this is the arrangement from the first album, not the remake with
# the Edmonton Symphony.)
#
#Verse 1:
#
# distorted guitar, doubled with bass:
#
v v [Gm] v v v v [C7] v v v v [F] v v v [F7/Eb]v
guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
[Gm] And like some angel's h[C7]aloed brow
[F] You reek of pu[F7/Eb]rity
I see your a[G]rmor plated br[Cm]east
Has l[F]ong since lost its s[Gm]heen
And [G]in your death mask f[Cm]ace
There are no si[F]gns which can be s[Gm]een
Chorus:
And though I h[Gm]oped for [Eb7] something to find
I could [Gm]see no [Eb7] place to unwind [Gm]
Verse 2:
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 3:
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, 2X)
organ solo:
Gm Eb7 (4X)
(repeat chorus; end cold on Gm)
-- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
