#1. 
Gm                 C7 
Conquistador, your stallion stands 
F          F (Eb bass) 
in need of company. 
Gm                   C7 
And like some angels haloed brow, 
F           F (Eb bass) 
you reek of purity. 
F          G   G9   G      G7    Cm 
I see your ar..mour-plated breast, 
    F    F7    F    F7  Gm 
has long since lost its sheen. 
    G  G7   G          G7   Cm 
And in your death mask face, 
Cm           F     F7    F      F7 
there are no signs which can be seen. 
Gm                      Eb 
And though I hoped for, something to find, 
      Gm      Eb            Gm 
I can see no, maze to unwind... 

#2. 
Gm             C7 
Conquistador a vulture sits, 
F                F (Eb bass) 
upon your silver shield. 
Gm                C7 
And in your rusty scabbard now, 
    F              F  (Eb bass) 
the sand has taken seed. 
F               G  G9 G         G7   Cm 
And though your jewel-encrusted blade, 
    F   F7   F    F7    Gm 
has not been plundered, still. 
    G   G7          G     G7   Cm             
The sea has washed across your face, 
Cm  F     F7 F   Gm    
and taken of its fill. 
Gm                      Eb 
And though I hoped for, something to find. 
        Gm      Eb            Gm 
I could see no, maze to unwind... 

#3. (Chords same as #1 and #2.) 

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.. 

And though you came with sword held high, 

You did not conquer, only die. 

And though I hoped for, something to find, 

I could see no, maze to unwind.
