verse

chorus
ADFEmADAEAADFEmADAEAA
The landlords came
F#m
The peasant trials
DA
To sacrifice of men
AE
Through the past and that quite darkly
DA
The presence once again
A
In the name of capital
F#m
Establishment
DA
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
EA
And waited at the turns
D
For America
AEA
They danced their ladies round
A
To the candles
F#m
Of enlightenment
DA
Once lit they say don't burn
AE
To turn the darkest room of suffering
DA
To a greater state of pain
A
Don't tell me that's behind you now
F#m
Don't greet me
DA
Don't meet your dying blind
AE
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
EA
And waited at the turns
D
For America
AEA
They danced their ladies round
A
There were days
F#m
That once held confidence
DA
Strength of will and mind
AE
The camouflage that once washed your fathers
DA
Your sons and daughters time
A
Another Tounge
F#m
My love, my island
DA
You've gone international
AE
With all the praying men of God
F#mD
Who stood and watched it all go on
A
They did a dance
D
Called America
F#m
They danced it round
EA
And waited at the turns
D
For America
AEA
They danced their ladies round
A
They did a dance
D
Called America
F#m
They danced it round
EA
And waited at the turns
D
For America
AEA
They danced their ladies round
