Verse 1:
F Bb      F   Gm   D      Gm        C  F
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
        Bb         F             Bb         F    Bb
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
F           Bb          F      Gm    D           Gm  C    F
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
         Bb          F                Bb     F  Bb
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
                                      F
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
     Bb                F              Gm       C     F
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
  Bb            Eb            Cm         F
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
         Bb               Gm      Bb      F   Bb
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Verse 2:
F      Bb       F  Gm   D           Gm       C   F
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
          Bb            F             Bb      F Bb
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
F       Bb         F   Gm      D        Gm  C    F
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
      Bb       F              Bb          F  Bb
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
                                F
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
        Bb      F           Gm        C   F
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
         Bb            Eb        Cm          F
'Tis the star-spangled banner, O long may it wave
         Bb               Gm      Bb      F   Bb
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Verse 3:
F         Bb      F    Gm  D  Gm      C  F
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
         Bb       F           Bb       F  Bb
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
F Bb       F Gm   D          Gm       C  F
a home and a country, should leave us no more?
      Bb               F              Bb         F  Bb
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
                         F
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
         Bb        F              Gm       C   F
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
        Bb            Eb        Cm           F
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,
         Bb               Gm      Bb      F   Bb
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Verse 4:
F Bb      F  Gm D        Gm      C     F
O thus be it e_ver, when freemen shall stand
   Bb               F             Bb      F Bb
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation.
F          Bb      F   Gm     D       Gm        C    F
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the Heav'n rescued land
           Bb         F                 Bb        F Bb
Praise the Power that hath made and pre-served us a nation!
                               F
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    Bb          F          Gm     C   F
And this be our motto: 'In God is our trust.'
        Bb            Eb        Cm            F
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
         Bb               Gm      Bb      F   Bb    F
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
