Subject: TAB : Star Spangled Banner
Ok, you wanted it, so here it is. I`m not sure what key it is in, but this
is the key I play it in. Also, i`m going to tab the bare minimun needed to
play it. With a little trial and error, you can come up with little things
that make it sound better.
Star Spangled Banner
By Frances Scott Key, 1814

verses
O say can you see, by the dawn`s early light
What so proudly we hail`d at the twilight`s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro` the perilous fight,
O`re the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockers` red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro` the night that our flag was still there
O say, does that star spangled banner yet wave
O`re the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shores, dimly seen thro` the mists of the deep,
Where the foe`s haughty host in dread silence reposes
What is that which the breze, o`er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning`s first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the steam:
`Tis the star spangled banner: O lang may it wave
O`er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle`s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash`d out their foul footsteps` pollution
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
And the star spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O`er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
O thus be it ever when free man shall stand
Between their lov`d homes and the war`s desolation;
Blest with vict`r and peace, may the heav`n rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our Trust!
And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O`er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Well, there it is, music and all four verses. In case you didn`t know, we
stole the music fromm and old english drinking song called anacheron in
heaven Enjoy
