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!
