               G                 Em   B7          Em             A7    D
1. Oh       say, can you see   by the    dawn's ear - ly     light,
2. On the shore, dimly seen thru the mists of       the   deep,
3. Oh,      thus be it     ev -  er when free men      shall stand

                 G                         D                     G
What so     proudly we           hailed at the    twilight's last gleaming,
Where the foe's haughty        host in dread    silence reposes
Be -           tween their loved homes and the war's desolation!

                    G                         Em       B7               Em             A7    D
Whose broad stripes and bright stars     through the peril -         ous   fight,
What is         that which the     breeze, o'er the       tower -       ing    steep,
Blest with     vict'ry and            peace, may the       heav'n-res - cued land

                G                     D                         G
O'er the    ramparts we     watched, were so galantly streaming?
As it         fitfully              blows, half con -  ceals, half discloses
Praise the Pow'r that hath made and pre -     served us a nation!

             G                                          D                    D7
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in      air,
Now it   catches the gleam of the       morning's first beam
Then     conquer we must, when our   cause it is       just,

         G                    D7                  Em         A7   D
Gave  proof thru the night that our flag was  still there.
In full glory re -        flected now    shines on the stream;
And    this be out      motto in: “In  God is      our trust!”

            G                    C                   A            A7  D7
Oh        say, does that star-spangled banner    yet  wave
'Tis the star-spangled  banner! Oh,   long may it     wave
And the star-spangled banner in       triumph  shall wave

             G               D     A7        D7               G
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
