My Country, 'Tis of Thee
words by Samuel F. Smith, music by Henry Carey

Verse 1:

F           C7
My country, 'tis of thee,

F          Bb  F
Sweet land of  liberty,

C7        F
Of thee I sing:

F
Land where my fathers died,

C7
Land of the Pilgrim's prid.

F
From every mountainside

Bb  F   C7  F
Let freedom ring!


Verse 2:

My native country, thee,
Land of the noble, free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

Verse 3:

Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Seet freedom's son.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.

Verse 4:

Or father's God, to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King!
