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
