chorus
[A] [D] [F#m] [E]
[A] [D] [A] [E] [A]
[A] [D] [F#m] [E]
[A] [D] [A] [E] [A]
The landlords [A]came
The peasant [F#m]trials
To [D]sacrifice of [A]men
Through the [A]past and that quite [E]darkly
The [D]presence once ag[A]ain
In the name of [A]capital
Est[F#m]ablishment
Impr[D]overs, its a [A]name
The hidden [A]truths
The hidden [E]lies
That once [F#m]nailed you
To the [D]pain
They did a [A]dance
Called Am[D]erica
They [F#m]danced it round
And [E]waited at the [A]turns
For Am[D]erica
They [A]danced their [E]ladies [A]round
To the [A]candles
Of enl[F#m]ightenment
Once [D]lit they say don't [A]burn
To turn the [A]darkest room of [E]suffering
To a [D]greater state of [A]pain
Don't tell me that's be[A]hind you now
Don't [F#m]greet me
Don't [D]meet your dying [A]blind
It's our [A]very last stand [E]together
So let?s [F#m]sever
No reg[D]rets
They did a [A]dance
Called Am[D]erica
They [F#m]danced it round
And [E]waited at the [A]turns
For Am[D]erica
They [A]danced their [E]ladies [A]round
There were [A]days
That once held [F#m]confidence
[D]Strength of will and [A]mind
The camouf[A]lage that once washed your [E]fathers
Your [D]sons and daughters [A]time
Another [A]Tounge
My love, my [F#m]island
You've gone [D]internation[A]al
With all the [A]praying men of [E]God
Who stood and [F#m]watched it all go [D]on
They did a [A]dance
Called Am[D]erica
They [F#m]danced it round
And [E]waited at the [A]turns
For Am[D]erica
They [A]danced their [E]ladies [A]round
They did a [A]dance
Called Am[D]erica
They [F#m]danced it round
And [E]waited at the [A]turns
For Am[D]erica
They [A]danced their [E]ladies [A]round
