O Indigo Girls é composto por Amy Ray e Emily Saliers. Elas se conheceram no playground de uma escola primária em Decatur, Georgia, e têm tocado juntas desde o ensino médio. Foram contratadas pela Epic Records em 1989 e ganharam o Grammy de melhor albúm comtemporâneo folk naquele ano. Algumas de suas músicas são "Galileo", "Closer to Fine," e "Shame on You."
Além de musicistas, Ray e Saliers são ativistas, sempre apoiando campanhas para o controle de armas

Cortez the Killer *as preformed by the Indigo Girls* (in 4/4 time) This is a combo of two versions. ----------------------------------- EmDAm x2
Em He came dancing across the water D With his galleons and guns Am Looking for a new world and a place in the sun Em And on the shore lay Montezuma D With it's coco leaves and pearls Am In it's halls he often wandered with the secrets of the world Em And his subjects gather 'round him D Like the leaves around the trees Am Clothed in many colors for the angry gods to see Em And the women all were beautiful D And the men stood straight and strong Am He offered life and sacrifice so that others might go on
jam on * Em D Am * for a few times
Em Now hate was just a legend D And war was never known Am The people worked together and they lifted many stones Em And they carried them across the flatlands D But they died along the way Am Built up with their bare hands what we still can do today Em And I know she's living there D And loves me to this day Am Can't remember when or how I lost my way
jam on * Em D Am * for awhile...stop when it feels right
Em There was this man, he wasn't satisfied D He crossed all the oceans Am to find something else with his greedy hands and his raping heart and his mind that said war to take everything Em He's looking down now And I'm sorry for every time I raped you And I'm sorry for every time I sold you Am And I'm sorry for every time I bought you And I'm sorry for every time I hurt you And I'm sorry for every time I'm sorry for every time I'm sorry for every time Em He came dancing across the waters D Cortez, Cortez Am [stop] What a killer
