[Am]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] [C]
Oh, say can you see by the [D] dawn's early [G] light,
What so proudly we hailed at that twilight's [C] last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the [G] perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so [Em] gallantly [C] streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs [G] bursting in air,
Gave [A] proof through [G] the night [C] that our [D] flag was [G] still there.
[C] Oh, say does [Dm] that star-spangled banner [E] yet [G] [C] wave
O'er [Em] the land of the [C] free and the home of the brave?
Oh, say [F] does that star [Dm]-spangled banner [Cm] yet [C] wave
O'er the [E] land of the free and the home of the brave?
[Cm]
[C]
[A] [C] [G]
[C] On the shore dimly seen through the mists [G] of the deep,
[C] Where the [D] force [G] that ye boast in [C] dread silence reposes,
What is that, a breeze or the [G] towering steep?
As it [D] [G] fitfully blows, [C] half conceals, half discloses,
Now it catches the gleam of the [G] morning's first beam,
[C] In full [A] glory [G] reflect it [C] now shines in [G] the stream.
[C] Tis the star [Dm]-spangled banner, O'er the [D] land [G]
[C] of the free and the home of the brave.
Tis the star [Dm]-spangled banner, O'er the land [C]
of the free and the home of the brave.
[Cm]
[C] [A]
[C] [G] [C]
Where is that man who so [G] hauntingly swore
That the [D] havoc [G] of war [C] and the battle's confusion
The home [Am] of [C] the country should leave us [G] no more,
[D] Their blood [G] has washed [C] out the hoof-stead's pollution.
No refuge could save the harming [G] and slave
[C] From the [A] terror of flight [C] or the [D] gloom of [G] the grave,
[C] And the star [Dm]-spangled banner in triumph [Cm] doth wave.
[C] O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And the star [Dm]-spangled banner in [G] triumph doth wave.
[Fm] [C] O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
[E] [A] [D] [G]
[C]
O'er thus it ever when [D] free [G] men shall stand
[C] Between [D] their [G] loved home and [C] the war's desolation,
Blest with victory and peace may the heaven [G]-rest good land
Praise [D] the power [G] that hath made [C] and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must when our path [G] it is just,
[C] And [A] this be our mark, [C] O'er [D] God is [G] our trust.
[C] And the star [Dm]-spangled banner in [G] triumph shall
[C] wave.
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
And the star [F]-spangled banner in [D]
triumph [C] shall wave.
O'er [B] the land of [C] the free and [G] the home of [C] the brave.
