Sufjan Stevens - The Star Spangled Banner chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
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. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/s/sufjan-stevens/273308.html ] 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 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: 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? 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)
