My Country, Tis of Thee chords
Samuel F. Smith (God Save The Queen / King) *

F  Dm  Gm    CMy country, 'tis of thee,
F     Dm   Bb F    Dmsweet land of liberty,
Gm F    C Fof thee I sing
FLand where my fathers died,
Gm          Bb        Cland of the pilgrims' pride
F    Gm    F        CFrom every mountain side,
Bb  F   C   Flet freedom ring.

F  Dm Gm  CMy native country, thee,
F    Dm Bb  F     Dmland of the noble free,
Gm  F    C Fthy name I love
FI love thy rocks and rills,
Gm            Bb      Cthy woods and templed hills
F  Gm         F       CMy heart with rapture thrills,
Bb   F    C Flike that above.


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

Our fathers' 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.

Our glorious Land to-day,
'Neath Education's sway,
Soars upward still.
Its hills of learning fair,
Whose bounties all may share,
behold them everywhere
On vale and hill!

Thy safeguard, Liberty,
The school shall ever be,
Our Nation's pride!
No tyrant hand shall smite,
While with encircling might
All here are taught the Right
With Truth allied.

Beneath Heaven's gracious will
The stars of progress still
Our course do sway;
In unity sublime
To broader heights we climb,
Triumphant over Time,
God speeds our way!

Grand birthright of our sires,
Our altars and our fires
Keep we still pure!
Our starry flag unfurled,
The hope of all the world,
In peace and light impearled,
God hold secure!
