[Bm] [G]
[D] [Em] [G]
Come join hand in hand, brave [D] Americans all, And [C#] rouse your bold hearts at their liberty's [G] call.
No tyrannous [A] axe shall suppress [D] your just claim, [G] Or stain with [D] dishonor America's name.
In freedom we're [G] born, and in freedom we'll [B] live, Our purses [Em] are ready.
[G] Steady, friends, steady, not as slaves, But as free men our money will give.
Our worthy forefathers, let's [D] give them [G] a cheer, [C] To climates [G] unknown did courageously steer.
Through [D] oceans to [G] deserts for [D] freedom they came, [G]
And dying [D] bequeath us their freedom and fame.
In freedom we're [G] born, and in freedom we'll live, [Em] Our purses are [G] ready.
Steady, friends, steady, [C] not as slaves, [G] But as free men our money will [D] give.
[G]
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] How sweet are the labors that [A] free [G] men endure, [C] That they shall [Em] enjoy [G] all the profits secure.
No more such [D] sweet labors [G] [D] Americans know, [G] If Britain shall [D] reap what Americans sow.
In freedom we're born, [G] and in freedom we'll live, Our [Bm] purses [Em] are ready.
[G] Steady, friends, steady, [C] not as slaves, But [G] as free men [D] our money [G] will give.
Then join hand in hand, brave Americans all, [C] By uniting we [Em] stand, [G] by [D] dividing [G] we fall.
In so righteous [D] a cause let [G] us hope [D] to succeed, [G] For [D] heaven approves of its generous deed.
In freedom we're born, [Bm] [G] and in freedom we'll live, [Em] Our purses are ready.
[G] Steady, friends, steady, not [C] as slaves, [G] But as free men our money will [D] give.
[G]
[Bm] [Em] [G]
[C] [G] [D]
[G] All ages shall speak with [D]
amaze [G] and applause, [C] Of the courage we'll [Em] show [G] in support of our laws.
To die [D] we can bear, but [G] to [Cm] serve we [D] disdain, [G] For shame is [D] to free men more dreadful than pain.
In freedom we're [Bm] born, [G] and in freedom we'll live, Our purses are [Em]
ready.
[G] Steady, friends, steady, [C] not as slaves, [G] But as free men [D] our [G] money will give.
This bumper I crown for our [F#] [G] sovereign's health, [C] And this for [G] Britannia's glory and wealth,
That wealth [D] and that glory [G] immortal [D] may be, [G] If she is [D] but just and we are but free.
In freedom we're born, [G] and in freedom we'll live, Our [B] purses [Em] are ready.
[G] Steady, friends, steady, [C] not as slaves, [G] But as free [D] men our [G] money will [D] give.
