[Intro]
Em A Em A D
[Verse 1]
I'm EmPachacuAti, the EmIncan Alord
All oDther tAribes DdreadAed
My nEmame means 'Ahe who sEmhakes the Aearth'
Not tDhat I'm big-headed
[Verse 2]
When it cEmomes to clAaiming nEmearby Alands
I wDas the tAype to rDisk itA  
But it's Emhow I trAeat dead eEmnemiAes
That Dreally took the biscuit
[Chorus]
I drEmink from their sAkull(DEmo the APachacuti!)
Pull Dout their teeth wAhole(DDo the APachacuti!)
Turn Emteeth into chaArms(Do Emthe PAachacuti!)
Make Dflutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)
[Instrumental]
Em A Em A D
[Verse 3]
Once Emon a hAillside, Emmy troops Ahid
To caDuse a Arival strDifeA  
And wEmhen they juAmped out, iEmt looked lAike
The gDround had come to life
[Verse 4]
The rEmocks they aAre my EmwarrioArs
DI then Aused to boDastA  
And that lEmittle lAie helped uEms win Awars
But vDiolence helped the most
[Chorus]
I drEmink from their sAkull(DEmo the APachacuti!)
Pull Dout their teeth wAhole(DDo the APachacuti!)
Turn Emteeth into chaArms(DEmo the APachacuti!)
Make Dflutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)
[Bridge]
EmIf you were a riAval chief
We'd F#mkill you fast and Bmthen
We'd sEmtuff you like a Ascarecrow
But oDne for scaring men
[Verse 5]
Then we'd rEmest your bAony fEmingers Aon
The stDretched skin oAf your bDellyA  
And Emin the bAreeze, they'd taEmp that Atum
Like a dDrummer, but more smelly!
[Chorus]
I drEmink from their sAkull(DEmo the APachacuti!)
Pull Dout their teeth wAhole(DDo the APachacuti!)
Use Emtheir skin as a Adrum(DEmo the APachacuti!)
I've Dnever had so much fun!(Pachacuti!)

[Intro]

Em A Em A D

[Verse 1]

Em A Em A

I'm Pachacuti, the Incan lord

D A D A

All other tribes dreaded

Em A Em A

My name means 'he who shakes the earth'

Not that I'm big-headed

[Verse 2]

Em A Em A

When it comes to claiming nearby lands

D A D A

I was the type to risk it

Em A Em A

But it's how I treat dead enemies

That really took the biscuit

[Chorus]

Em A Em A

I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)

D A D A

Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)

Em A Em A

Turn teeth into charms(Do the Pachacuti!)

Make flutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)

[Instrumental]

Em A Em A D

[Verse 3]

Em A Em A

Once on a hillside, my troops hid

D A D A

To cause a rival strife

Em A Em A

And when they jumped out, it looked like

The ground had come to life

[Verse 4]

Em A Em A

The rocks they are my warriors

D A D A

I then used to boast

Em A Em A

And that little lie helped us win wars

But violence helped the most

[Chorus]

Em A Em A

I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)

D A D A

Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)

Em A Em A

Turn teeth into charms(Do the Pachacuti!)

Make flutes out of their arms(Pachacuti!)

[Bridge]

Em A

If you were a rival chief

F#m Bm

We'd kill you fast and then

Em A

We'd stuff you like a scarecrow

But one for scaring men

[Verse 5]

Em A Em A

Then we'd rest your bony fingers on

D A D A

The stretched skin of your belly

Em A Em A

And in the breeze, they'd tap that tum

Like a drummer, but more smelly!

[Chorus]

Em A Em A

I drink from their skull(Do the Pachacuti!)

D A D A

Pull out their teeth whole(Do the Pachacuti!)

Em A Em A

Use their skin as a drum(Do the Pachacuti!)

I've never had so much fun!(Pachacuti!)

[Outro]
