Intro: Dm  Am  C  Am

Verse:
Dm         Am           C         Am
Toro, I am humble, for tonight I understand
      Dm              Am             Bb             A
Your royal blood was never meant to decorate this sand
        Gm              Am               Gm               Am
You've suffered great injustice, so have thousands before you
   Dm        C          Bb          Dm
I offer an apology, and one long overdue

Chorus:
     Gm
I am sorry
           Dm
Toro I am sorry,
         Am                       Dm
Hear my song, and know I sing the truth
         Gm                                  A
Although we were bred to fight, I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
        Gm                     Dm                 Am            Dm
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live
        Gm                     Dm                Am       A     D
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live

Verse:
Dm         Am                     Bb          A
Toro, I am frightened, but I'll use my final breath
 Dm                   Am             C                Am
To tell you that I'm sorry, let us end this dance of death
       Gm         Am         Gm            Am
Two centuries of agony, that to your heart we sent
     Dm               C             A             Dm
Here and now with my amends, the senseless killing ends

Chorus:
      Gm
I am sorry,
           Dm
Toro I am sorry,
         Am                       Dm
Hear my song, and know I sing the truth
 Gm                                           A                     C
Although we were bred to fight, I reach for kindness in your heart tonight
        Gm                     Dm                 Am            Dm
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live
       Gm                     Dm                Am       A     Dm
And if you can forgive, and if you can forgive, love can truly live
