The Bonnie Blue Flag chords
Harry McCarthy
We Care a band of Fbrothers, and Cnative to the G7soil,
Cfighting for our property we Fgained by G7honest Ctoil
And when our rights were Fthreaten'd, the Ccry rose near and G7far,
HurCrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that Fbears a G7single Cstar!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
As Clong as the Funion was Cfaithful to her G7trust,
Like Cfriend and bretheren, Fkind were G7we and Cjust
But now when Northern Ftreachery atCtempts our rights to G7mar,
We Choist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that Fbears a G7single Cstar!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
First, Cgallant South FCarolina Cnobly made the G7stand;
CThen came Alabama, who Ftook her G7by the Chand;
Next, quickly MissisFsippi, CGeorgia and FloriG7da,
All Crais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that Fbears a G7single Cstar!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
Ye Cmen of valor, Fgather 'round the Cbanner of the G7right,
CTexas and fair Louisiana, Fjoin us G7in the Cfight;
Davis, our loved PresiFdent, and CStephens, Statesman G7rare,
Now Crally 'round the Bonnie Blue Flag, that Fbears a G7single Cstar!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
And here's to brave Virginia! the Old Dominion State
With the young Confederacy at length has link'd her fate;
Impell'd by her example, now other States prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
And here's to our Confederacy, strong we are and brave,
Like patriots of old, we'll fight our heritage to save;
And rather than submit to shame, to die we would prefer,
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star!
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
Then cheer boys, cheer, and raise the joyous shout;
For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out;
And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be giv'n,
The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven
HurCrah! HurG7rah! for Fsouthern rights, hurCrah!
HurrCah! for the FBonnie Blue flag that G7bears a single Cstar!
