O Columbia, the gem of the ocean,
    F           Dm            C   G
the home of the brave and the free
    D              D7          G
The shrine of each patriot's devotion,
  C            D         G
a world offers homage to thee.
                  G7       C
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
               F              G
when liberty's form stands in view
    C            C7      F
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
     Dm           G               C
when borne by the red, white, and blue!
     G            G7              C
When borne by the red, white, and blue!
     G            G7              C
When borne by the red, white, and blue!

Thy banners make tyranny tremble,

when borne by the red, white, and blue!

     C               G        C
When war winged it s wide desolations,
    F              Dm        C   G
and threatened the land to deform
    D           D7            G
The ark then of freedom's foundation,
  C            D                G
Columbia, rode safe through the storm
                     G7       C
With the garlands of vict'ry about her,
                    F              G
when so proudly she bore her brave crew
         C            C7         F
With her flag proudly floating before her,
    Dm           G               C
the boast of the red, white, and blue!
    G            G7              C
The boast of the red, white, and blue!
    G            G7              C
The boast of the red, white, and blue!

With her flag proudly floating before her,
    Dm           G               C
the boast of the red, white, and blue!

    C             G            C
The star-spangled banner bring hither,
     F               Dm          C   G
o'er Columbia's true sons let it wave
        D                 D7        G
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
        C              D            G
nor its stars cease to shine on the brave
                 G7          C
May the service united ne'er sever,
                  F         G
but hold to their colors so true
    C        C7      F
The army and navy forever,
      Dm             G               C
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!

Three cheers for the red, white, and blue!

The army and navy forever,
      Dm             G               C
three cheers for the red, white, and blue!
