The landlords Acame
The peasant F#mtrials
To Dsacrifice of Amen
Through the Apast and that quite Edarkly
The Dpresence once agAain
In the name of Acapital
EstF#mablishment
ImprDovers, its a Aname
The hidden Atruths
The hidden Elies
That once F#mnailed you
To the Dpain
They did a Adance
Called AmDerica
They F#mdanced it round
And Ewaited at the Aturns
For AmDerica
They Adanced their Eladies Around
To the Acandles
Of enlF#mightenment
Once Dlit they say don't Aburn
To turn the Adarkest room of Esuffering
To a Dgreater state of Apain
Don't tell me that's beAhind you now
Don't F#mgreet me
Don't Dmeet your dying Ablind
It's our Avery last stand Etogether
So let’s F#msever
No regDrets
They did a Adance
Called AmDerica
They F#mdanced it round
And Ewaited at the Aturns
For AmDerica
They Adanced their Eladies Around
There were Adays
That once held F#mconfidence
DStrength of will and Amind
The camoufAlage that once washed your Efathers
Your Dsons and daughters Atime
Another ATounge
My love, my F#misland
You've gone DinternationAal
With all the Apraying men of EGod
Who stood and F#mwatched it all go Don 
They did a Adance
Called AmDerica
They F#mdanced it round
And Ewaited at the Aturns
For AmDerica
They Adanced their Eladies Around
They did a Adance
Called AmDerica
They F#mdanced it round
And Ewaited at the Aturns
For AmDerica
They Adanced their Eladies Around

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

In the name of capital

F#m

Establishment

D A

Improvers, its a name

The hidden truths

The hidden lies

F#m

That once nailed you

To the pain

They did a dance

Called America

F#m

They danced it round

E A

And waited at the turns

For America

A E A

They danced their ladies round

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

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

No regrets

They did a dance

Called America

F#m

They danced it round

E A

And waited at the turns

For America

A E A

They danced their ladies round

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

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

They did a dance

Called America

F#m

They danced it round

E A

And waited at the turns

For America

A E A

They danced their ladies round

They did a dance

Called America

F#m

They danced it round

E A

And waited at the turns

For America

A E A

They danced their ladies round
