A             Amaj7       F#m
Why are these women here, dancing on their own.
B                                      E
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
A               Amaj7      F#m
Why are the soldiers here, their faces fixed like stone?
B                                    E
I can’t see what it is that they despise.

Chorus:
F#m                       A
They’re dancing with the missing,
F#m                       A
they’re dancing with the dead.
F#m                    A
They dance with the invisible ones,
F#m                 A
their anguish is unsaid.
G                           D
They’re dancing with their fathers,
G                           D
they’re dancing with their sons.
E                          Dm6
They’re dancing with their husbands,
E           Dm6
they dance alone.
             E
They dance alone.

It's the only form of protest they're allowed
I've seen their silent faces scream so loud
If they were to speak these words, they'd go missing too
Another woman on a torture table what else can they do?

Chorus

A              D
One day we’ll dance on their graves,
Bm            F#m
one day we’ll sing our freedom.
A              D                Bm        F#m
One day we’ll laugh in our joy. And we’ll dance.
A              D
One day we’ll dance on their graves,
Bm            F#m
one day we’ll sing our freedom.
A              D                Bm        F#m
One day we’ll laugh in our joy. And we’ll dance.

Hey Mr. Pinochet
You've sown a bitter crop
It's foreign money that supports you
One day the money's going to stop
No wages for your torturers
No budget for your guns
Can you think of your own mother
Dancing with her invisible son

Chorus

          Amaj7            F#m
And we’ll dance, and we’ll dance
          Bm               A
And we’ll dance, and we’ll dance
