We are a band [C] of [G] brothers, a native to [D] the soil, [C] Fighting [G] for our liberty [D] with treasure,
[G] blood and toil.
And when [C] our rights were threatened, [G] the cry [D] rose near and far,
[C] Hurrah [G] for the bonnie blue [D] flag that bears a [G] single star!
_ [D] Hurrah, hurrah [C] for Southern [G] rights, hurrah!
Hurrah [C] for the bonnie blue flag [D] that bears [G] a single star! _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ As [C] long as the Union [G] was faithful [D] to her trust,
[C] Like friends and [G] like [D] brethren, kind we were [G] and just,
But now when [C] Northern treachery [G] attempts our [D] rights to mar,
[C] Well, hoist on [G] high the bonnie blue [D] flag that bears a [G] single star!
Hurrah, [D] hurrah [C] for Southern [G] rights, hurrah!

Next quickly [C] Mississippi, _
[G] Georgia, [D] Florida,
[C] Well, hoist on [G] high the bonnie blue [D] flag that bears a [G] single star!

_ _ _ Ye men of [C] valor, gather [G] round the banner [D] of the right,

_ _ _ And here's to [C] brave Virginia, [G] the old [D] Dominion state,
[C] With the [G] young [D] Confederacy at length has [G] linked her fate,
Impelled by [C] her example, [G] now other [D] states prepare,
[C] To hoist on [G] high the bonnie blue [D] flag that bears a [G] single star!

And let [C] another rousing [G] cheer for Tennessee [D] be given,
[C] The single [G] star of the bonnie blue [D] flag has grown to [G] be eleven!
