              A
The landlords came

            F#m
The peasant trials

   D            A
To sacrifice of men

            A                   E
Through the past and that quite darkly

    D               A
The presence once again

               A
In the name of capital

   F#m
Establishment

    D            A
Improvers, its a name

           A
The hidden truths

           E
The hidden lies

          F#m
That once nailed you

       D
To the pain

           A
They did a dance

         D
Called America

     F#m
They danced it round

    E             A
And waited at the turns

      D
For America

     A            E      A
They danced their ladies round

       A
To the candles

      F#m
Of enlightenment

     D                  A
Once lit they say don't burn

            A               E
To turn the darkest room of suffering

     D                A
To a greater state of pain

                       A
Don't tell me that's behind you now

      F#m
Don't greet me

      D               A
Don't meet your dying blind

         A               E
It's our very last stand together

         F#m
So let's sever

      D
No regrets

           A
They did a dance

         D
Called America

     F#m
They danced it round

    E             A
And waited at the turns

      D
For America

     A            E      A
They danced their ladies round

           A
There were days

               F#m
That once held confidence

D                    A           
Strength of will and mind

          A                          E
The camouflage that once washed your fathers

     D                  A
Your sons and daughters time

        A
Another Tounge

            F#m
My love, my island

            D          A
You've gone international

             A              E
With all the praying men of God

              F#m               D
Who stood and watched it all go on 

           A
They did a dance

         D
Called America

     F#m
They danced it round

    E             A
And waited at the turns

      D
For America

     A            E      A
They danced their ladies round

           A
They did a dance

         D
Called America

     F#m
They danced it round

    E             A
And waited at the turns

      D
For America

     A            E      A
They danced their ladies round
