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 : 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 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 )
