Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Won't you please welcome
my friend from Argentina,
Mercedes Sosa.
Ellas danzan [C]solas.
[G]
Why are these women here
dancing [Em]on their own?
[G]Why is [A]there a sad[G]ness in
[Dsus4]their eyes?[D][Dsus4][G]
Why are their soldiers here?
[Em]Their faces fixed like stone,
[G]I c[A]an't see what it is
[G]that they [Dsus4]des pise.[G][D]
[Em]Dancing [G]with the [Em]missing,
[G]Dancing with the [Em]dead,
[G]Dancing with the invisible [Em]ones,
an[G]guish is unsaid.
[F]Dan[C]cin' with their fathers,
[F]with the[C]ir sons,[Dsus4]
[D]their husband[Dsus4]s,
[D]they dance alone,
[Dsus4]they dance alone.
[D]Yo las [G]vi en silencio protest[Em]ar
It's the only form of protest
they're allowed
No hay otra man[G]era
I can see [A]their silent faces
De [G]luchar
Screaming [D]so loud
Si dijeran algo [G]más
If they were to speak these words
Solo un poco más
[Em]They'd go missing too
Otra mujer sería torturada
[G]Anoth[A]er woman on the torture table
Con inseguridad
[G]What can they [D]do?
[Em]Danzan con los muer[G]tos
Dancing with the missing
[Em]Los que ya no están
[G]Dancing with the [Em]dead
Amores invisibles
Dan[G]cing with the invisible ones
[Em]Dejan de danzar
Their [G]anguish is unsaid
[F]Danzan con sus [C]padres
Dancing with their fath[F]ers
Sus niños también
[C]With their son[Dsus4] s y
con sus [D]es posos
[Dsus4]en soledad, [D]en soledad.[Dsus4][D]
[G]Un día [C]avanzaremos
[Am]sobre sus tumbas libre[Em]s.
[G]Un día aca[C]mparemos a d[Am]anzar.
[Em]One [G]day [C]we'll da[Am]nce in our j[Em]oy,
[G]One day we'[C]ll dan[Am]ce in joy.[Em]
[G]Ellas danzan con los desaparecidos,
[C][G]
Ellas danzan con los muertos,
Ellas danzan con silen
[C]ciosa [G]angustia,
danzan con sus padres,
danzan con sus [C]hijos,[G]
danzan con sus esposos,
ellas danzan solas, danzan solas.
And Mr. Pinochet, su siembra huele mal
[Em]You've sown a bitter crop
Y ese dinero que recibe
[A]Is more than money that supports you
Pronto se terminará
[G]But one day the mon[D]ey's
gonna snap
No podrá comprar mas [G]armas
No wages for your torturers
Y sus verduras pagar
[Em]No budget for your guns
Imagine a su mad[A]re
Can you think of your own mother
Danzando siempre en [G]soledad.
Dancing with the invisible [D]one.
[G]Dan[Em]zan con los m[G]uertos.
Dancing with the [Em]missing.
Los que ya no están.
[G]Dancing with the dead.
[Em]Amores invisibles.
Dan[G]cing with the invisible one.
[Em]No dejan de danzar.
[G]anguish is unseen.
[F]Danzan con sus mue[C]rtos.
Con [F]sus niños tam[C]bién.
And a son, an[Dsus4]d a husband[D],
[Dsus4]they danc[D]e alone
[Dsus4]in soleda[D]d[G]
One [C]day [Am]we'll dance
[Em]on the g[G]rave
[C]One day [Am]we'll [Em]sing, be there
[G]One day [C]we'll [Am]dance in j[Em]oyous
[G]One[C] day we'[Am]ll dance,
[G]we'll dance
[Am]We'll [G]dance,
[Am]we'll [G]dance[Am][G][C][G]
[Am][G][C][G]
