[HANASHIR:8344] Re: Star Spangled Banner

[Richard Glauber <richglauber...>]

Here you go Deborah.  Since the song has such a large
range (an octave and a fifth), I'm starting it in the
key of F so that the range is low F to C.


F                                   G   C
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light

        F          C             F
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last
gleaming.

            F                                 F    G
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous

C
fight

         F           C7              F
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly
streaming

        F                           C7               
And the rockets red glare the bombs busting in air

     F              C              F        G     C7  
Gave proof thru the night that our flag was still
there

   F             Bb            Gm         C7 
Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave

         F                                C7  F
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave


(If you're a guitarist and have trouble with say a Bb
or a G minor chord, you could play it in D and capo
the third fret.  

F becomes  D
G   "      E
C   "      A
Bb  "      G
Gm  "      Em
