Becket & Shaw (1843)

 C majorC       G+G     C majorC
O Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
  FF      DmDm      C majorC  G+G
the home of the brave and the free
  D MajorD       D7D7     G+G
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
 C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
a world offers homage to thee.
         G7G7    C majorC
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
        FF       G+G
when liberty's form stands in view
  C majorC      C7C7   FF
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
   DmDm      G+G        C majorC
when borne by the red, white, and blue!
   G+G      G7G7       C majorC
When borne by the red, white, and blue!
   G+G      G7G7       C majorC
When borne by the red, white, and blue!
         C7C7   FF
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
   DmDm      G+G        C majorC
when borne by the red, white, and blue!

   C majorC        G+G    C majorC
When war winged it's wide desolations,
  FF       DmDm    C majorC  G+G
and threatened the land to deform
  D MajorD      D7D7      G+G
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
 C majorC      D MajorD        G+G
Columbia, rode safe through the storm
           G7G7    C majorC
With the garlands of vict'ry about her,
          FF       G+G
when so proudly she bore her brave crew
     C majorC      C7C7     FF
With her flag proudly floating before her,
  DmDm      G+G        C majorC
the boast of the red, white, and blue!
  G+G      G7G7       C majorC
The boast of the red, white, and blue!
  G+G      G7G7       C majorC
The boast of the red, white, and blue!
           C7C7     FF
With her flag proudly floating before her,
  DmDm      G+G        C majorC
the boast of the red, white, and blue!

  C majorC       G+G      C majorC
The star-spangled banner bring hither,
   FF        DmDm     C majorC  G+G
o'er Columbia's true sons let it wave
    D MajorD         D7D7    G+G
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
    C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
nor its stars cease to shine on the brave
         G7G7     C majorC
May the service united ne'er sever,
         FF     G+G
but hold to their colors so true
  C majorC    C7C7   FF
The army and navy forever,
   DmDm       G+G        C majorC
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
   G+G       G7G7       C majorC
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
   G+G      G7G7       C majorC
Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
       C7C7   FF
The army and navy forever,
   DmDm       G+G        C majorC
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
