[Verse 1]
Em D Em
They came 500 years ago,
Em D Em
they stole the gold of Mexico,
Em G A
killed the people one by one,
Am G D B
only talking with their guns.
Em D Em
Brave men locked on iron chains.
Em D Em
All young mothers sold as slaves,
Em G A
Babies crying through the night,
Am G D B
will they ever see a light.
[Chorus]

Golden dreams of Eldorado -
G A D B
all have drowned in seas of pain and blood.
Em D
Golden dreams of Eldorado
G A Bm Bm
may come true but only in your heart.
