The Star-Spangled Banner Chords by Robert Shaw

[Start]

[Intro]
F Bb           Dm  Gm         C7     F          
■ ■  O say can you see by the dawn's early light
Bb              F  Eb            F               Bb      
What so proudly we hail'd at the twilight's last gleaming


[Chorus]
                               Gm                C7       F    
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
Bb                   F       Eb      Bb        F Bb       
O'er the ramparts we watch'd were so gallantly ■ streaming


[Break]
                                              F7    
And the rocket's red glare the bombs bursting in air
Bb         Bbmaj7      Gm                      F          
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there


[Chorus]
Bb         Cm7  Bb           Eb             
O say does that starspangled banner yet wave
     Cm       Bb F Bb           Cm7 Bb               
O'er the land of ■ the free and the home of the brave


[Intro]
                   Gm   D                    C7  F   
On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep
Bb                                                   
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes
                   Bbmaj7 Bb     D        Gm       C7 F    
What is that which the    breeze o'er the towering ■  steep
   Bb          F7                       Bb       
As it fitfully blows half conceals half discloses
Bb                                        F7        
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam
   Bb         Dm            Gm        Cm  F     
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream
         Bb           Cm7    Bb            Eb  
'tis the starspangled banner O long may it wave
         Cm          Bb   F         Bb               
O'er the land of the free ■ and the home of the brave
Eb     Bb                                        
■  And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
     F   Gm                   C7       F Bb       
That the havoc of war and the battle's ■ confusion
                     F                      
A home and a Country should leave us no more
Bb                                                        
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution
   F      Gm                               
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
C7       F                   Bb                    
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave


[Break]
F Eb      Bb                     F            Bb  
■ And the starspangled banner in triumph doth wave
                              Bb                   
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
                  F7                      
O thus be it ever when freemen shall stand
Bb                                     Dsus4     
Between their lov'd home and the war's desolation
D     Gm               C7    F                          
Blest with vict'ry and peace may the heav'n rescued land


[Chorus]
Bb               Cm7                Eb                   
Praise the power that hath made and preserv'd us a nation
     Cm         Gm                  F         
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just
                                Bb       
And this be our motto In God is our trust
F       Bb           Bb7    Eb                  Fsus4
And the starspangled banner ■  in triumph shall wave 
F7               Bb                                
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
