Biography:
Procol Harum is a British rock band formed in London, England, in 1967. They contributed to the development of progressive rock, and by extension, symphonic rock. The band's claim to fame is 'A Whiter Shade of Pale', a huge hit in 1967. The band differed from most of the progressive rock bands of the 70s in the relatively prominent blues component to their sound, largely due to the voice and piano of leader Gary Brooker. In the early years, Matthew Fisher's organ and Robin Trower's guitar combined for a unique sound.

* guitar plays higher line on 2nd repeat of each verse
Conquistador your stallion stands in need of company
Gm C7
And like some angel's haloed brow
F F7/Eb
You reek of purity
G Cm
I see your armor plated breast
F Gm
Has long since lost its sheen
G Cm
And in your death mask face
F Gm
There are no signs which can be seen
Chorus:
Gm Eb7
And though I hoped for something to find
Gm Eb7 Gm
I could see no place to unwind
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]
