A             Amaj7       F#m
Why are these women here, dancing on their own.
B                                         A  E
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
A               Amaj7      F#m
Why are the soldiers here, their faces fixed like stone?
B                                   Esus4  E
I can?t see what it is that they despise.

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

Repeat Part two

A                   Amaj7                 F#m
The only form of protest they?re allowed.
B                                  A         E
I?ve seen their silent faces, they scream so loud. 
A                           Amaj7  F#m
If they were to speak these words, they?d go missing too.
B                                   Esus4               E
Another woman on the torture table, what else can they do?

Chorus

Chorus 2:
A             D                      Bm            F#m
One day we?ll dance on their graves, 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                      Bm            F#m
One day we?ll dance on their graves, 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          Amaj7     F#m
Hey Mister Pinochet, you?ve sown a bitter crop. 
B                                     A                   E
It?s foreign money that supports you, one day the money?s going to stop.
A                 Amaj7     F#m
No wages for your tortures, no budget for your guns.
B                         Esus4               E
You think of your mother, dancing with her invisible son.
