So, one of my friends played this song at an Open Mic, and after looking it
up, I realized there's no charts for it anywhere online, and its actually
pretty hard to find in general. Sufjan was making quite a statement when he
first played this song; look it up, its pretty funny. Simple but powerful
song. E Standard Tuning; no capo.
Intro: C G Em A (2x)
C Oh, sGay can you sEmee, A C by the dGawns early lEmight, A
C What so proGudly we haEmiled A C at the twiGlights last gleEmaming? A
(I play half the intro here)
C Whose broad strGipes and bright sEmtars, A C through the pGerilous fEmight, A
C Oer the rGamparts we wEmatched, Aoh-oh C were so gGallantly strEmeaming? A
Pre-Chorus:
C And the rGockets red glEmare, and the bAombs in the aCir,
Gave us prGoof through the nEmight that our flAag was still thCere.
Chorus: (I think all the lyrics here are right)
And the flGag marked with blEmood, with the blAood of our hCands
And our hGands marked with dEmeath, with the blAood of a mCan
And a mGan on the crEmoss, and the crAoss on our hCearts
Has it dGone nothing mEmore, than to drAive us apaCrt?
Pre-Chorus:
C And the rGockets red glEmare, and the bAombs in the aCir,
Gave us prGoof through the nEmight that our flAag was still thCere.
Chorus:
And the flGag marked with blEmood, with the blAood of our hCands
And our hGands marked with dEmeath, with the blAood of a mCan
And a mGan on the crEmoss, and the crAoss on our hCearts
Has it dGone nothing mEmore, than to drAive us apaCrt?
Outro:
C O sGay, does that sEmtar (oh sAay does that sCtar)
Spangled bGanner yet wEmave (spangled bAanner yet wCave)
Oer the lGand of the frEmee (oer the lAand of the frCee)
And the hGome of the brEmave? (and the hAome of the brave?)
(Fade out on same chord progression)
