The Star Spangled Banner by Sufjan Stevens
The Star Spangled Banner
E Standard Tuning; no capo.
Intro: G D Bm E (2x)
G D Bm E G D Bm E
Oh, say can you see, by the dawns early light,
G D Bm E G D Bm E
What so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming?
(I play half the intro here)
G D Bm E G D Bm E
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
G D Bm E G D Bm E
Oer the ramparts we watched, oh-oh were so gallantly streaming?
Pre-Chorus:
G D Bm E G
And the rockets red glare, and the bombs in the air,
D Bm E G
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Chorus: (I think all the lyrics here are right)
D Bm E G
And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
D Bm E G
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
D Bm E G
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
D Bm E G
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?
Pre-Chorus:
G D Bm E G
And the rockets red glare, and the bombs in the air,
D Bm E G
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Chorus:
D Bm E G
And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
D Bm E G
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
D Bm E G
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
D Bm E G
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?
Outro:
G D Bm E G
O say, does that star (oh say does that star)
D Bm E G
Spangled banner yet wave (spangled banner yet wave)
D Bm E G
Oer the land of the free (oer the land of the free)
D Bm E
And the home of the brave? (and the home of the brave?)
(Fade out on same chord progression)
