Once there was an Inca Queen
D Cmaj7
She gazed at her sundial
D C
All around her workers raised
Gm7 Am7
Golden idols to her smile
Gm7 Am7
The waiting years weren't hard to see
Bb C* RIFF
Behind the tears of Mercury
Gm7 Am7
D C D Cmaj7 D C D Cmaj7
D C
She spoke of silver from the sky
D Cmaj7
And many floating safety boats
D C
To pick them up when they would fly
Gm7 Am7
Far above their dreams and hopes
Gm7 Am7
And they a mountain city raised
Bb C*
Where their queen above the clouds
RIFF
Could watch out
Gm7 Am7
