Which G7gave the land its C7name.

There were Fnatives E♭there, called F/AGuanches, F
B♭ Guanches B♭/Dby the Fscore.
B♭ Bullet's, di-Bdim7sease, the FPortugese;
They B♭weren't there any-Fmore.

Bridge 1
Now they're Fgone, they're B♭gone, they're really Fgone.
You've Amnever Fseen any-E♭one G7so Cgone.

B♭  F

Break 2
Bal-E♭boa G7found the Pa-Ccific, and E♭on the G7trail one Cday,
He E♭met some G7friendly CIndians, whom G7he was told were C7gay. So...

He Fhad them C/Gtorn a-Fpart by dogs, on re-B♭ligious A7grounds they Dmsay;
The Fgreat B♭Nations of Bdim7Europe, Fwere quitG7e holy in theiC7r way.

Bridge 2
Now they're Fgone, they're B♭gone, they're really Fgone.
You've Amnever Fseen any-E♭one G7so Cgone.

Some Fbones hidden in a B♭canyon, some Fpaintings in a B♭cave.
There's Gmno use Amtryin' to B♭save them; there's nothin' C7left to Fsave.

C Where Fyou and E♭I are F/Astanding, F
At the B♭end of a B♭/Dcentu-Fry;
B♭ Europe's have Bdim7sprung up Feverywhere, aG7s even I caC7n see.

But Fthere on C/Gthe ho-Frizon, is the B♭possi-A7bili-Dmty,
That some C♯bug from A♭out of E♭Africa, might Dmcome for Amyou and Cme.

De-Fstroying C/Geverything Fin its path, from B♭sea to A7shining Dmsea.
Like the B♭great Nations of FEurope, in the C716th centu-Fry.
