{c: Verse 1}
[D]Hail, Columbia! [D]happy land!
[D]Hail, ye heroes, he[D]aven born band!
Who fough[D]t and bled in fre[A7]edom's ca[D]use,
Who fought and bled in freed[A7]om's c[D]ause.
And wh[A]en the storm of wa[E7]r is go[A]ne,
Enj[A]oy the peace your va[A7]lor won;
Let in[B7]dependence [Em]be your boast,
[A]Ever mi[D]ndful w[A]hat it cost;
[A7]Ever grateful f[D]or the prize,
[D]Let its al[A7]tar [D]reach the skies.

{c: Chorus}
F[D]irm, united, l[A7]et us [D]be,
[D]Rallying round our lib[A7]ert[D]y.
[G/B]As a [G]band of [Em]brothers j[D]oined,
Pe[D]ace and sa[Em]fety w[D]e shall find.

{c: Verse 2}
[D]Sound, sound the [D]trump of f[D]ame
[D]Let Washington's great n[D]ame
Ri[D]ng through the world with lo[A7]ud ap[D]plause,,
R[D]ing through the world with l[A7]oud applau[D]se,
Let ev'[A]ry clime to freed[E7]om de[A]ar,
Lis[A]ten with a joyf[A7]ul ear,
With e[B7]qual skill, with God[Em]-like pow'r
[A]He governs i[D]n the f[A]earful hour
[A7]Of horrid war, [D]or guides with ease
The h[D]appier t[A7]ime of h[D]onest pe[D]ace.

{c: Chorus}
F[D]irm, united, l[A7]et us [D]be,
[D]Rallying round our lib[A7]ert[D]y.
[G/B]As a [G]band of [Em]brothers j[D]oined,
Pe[D]ace and sa[Em]fety w[D]e shall find.
