(Spoken) Within the memory of man
E
the search for happiness has never ended,
         A                           B
But the gates of Eden will ever be closed

for those conquistadores who are only hungry

for power and might.

Because the real Eldorado
           E
isn´t made out of diamonds and gold.
            A
It´s the immortal yearning
          B
for peace, love and understanding
C#m                      C#m
   in the hearts of everyone.
