AAmaj7F#m Why are these women here, dancing on their own. BAE Why is there this sadness in their eyes? AAmaj7F#m Why are the soldiers here, their faces fixed like stone? BEsusE I can’t see what it is that they despise.
Chorus: F#mAF#mA They’re dancing with the missing, they’re dancing with the dead. F#mAF#mA They dance with the invisible ones, their anguish is unsaid. GDGD They’re dancing with their fathers, they’re dancing with their sons. EDm6EDm6 They’re dancing with their husbands, they dance alone. E They dance alone.
Repeat Part two
AAmaj7F#m The only form of protest they’re allowed. BAE I’ve seen their silent faces, they scream so loud. AAmaj7F#m If they were to speak these words, they’d go missing too. BEsusE Another woman on the torture table, what else can they do?
Chorus
Chorus 2: ADBmF#m One day we’ll dance on their graves, one day we’ll sing our freedom. ADBmF#m One day we’ll laugh in our joy. And we’ll dance. ADBmF#m One day we’ll dance on their graves, one day we’ll sing our freedom. ADBmF#m One day we’ll laugh in our joy. And we’ll dance.
AAmaj7F#m Hey Mister Pinochet, you’ve sown a bitter crop. BAE It’s foreign money that supports you, one day the money’s going to stop. AAmaj7F#m No wages for your tortures, no budget for your guns. BEsusE You think of your mother, dancing with her invisible son.
Chorus + Chorus 2
Amaj7F#m And we’ll dance, and we’ll dance BmA And we’ll dance, and we’ll dance
