D A
O say can you see by the dawn's early light,
D Bm G A
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
D Bm G A
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
D Bm G A
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
D Bm
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
G A
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
D Bm G A
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
D A Bm A D
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
(Guitar solo)
D
Because we are the brave
Bm
Yes we are the brave
G
We’ll fight tyranny
In the name of the free
A
We are the U.S. of A
D
For those unaware
Bm
That flag is still there
G
It’s our future to save
This land of the brave
A
The U.S. of A
D Bm G A
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,
D A Bm A D
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Hey where did we go, days when the rains came
G C G D
Down in the hollow, playin' a new game

Whatever happened, to Tuesday is so slow

Goin’ down the old mine with a transistor radio

Standin’ in the sunlight laughin’, hidin’ behind a rainbow's wall

Slippin’ and a-slidin’ all along the waterfall with you

Makin’ love in the green grass, behind the stadium with you
