              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
