Oo-o  say  can  you see,  

8   -8    7    5   -5   6      
by the dawn's ear -ly light.  

 6   6    8   -8   7   -7    
Who so  proud-ly  we hailed  

-6 -7   7    7      6     5    4 
at the twi-light's last gleam-ing,  

  6     5     4      5     6     7 
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,  

   8    -8   7   5 -5    6            
Through the per-il-ous fight,  
  
 6    6     8    -8    7       -7  
O'er the   ram- parts  we    watched,  

 -6   -7     7   7   6     5    4 
were  so    gal-lant-ly stream-ing.  

 8   8   8   -9    9    9 
And the rock-ets' red glare,  

-9     8     -8    8    -9    -9 
the  bombs  burst-ing   in    air,  

-9     8     -8     7   -7    
Gave proof through the night  

-6    -7   7     5     -5    6
that  our flag  was  still  there.  

6  7   7    7 -7  -6   -6    -6      
O say does th-at star -span -gled   

-8 -9  8    -8 7    7 -7
ban-ne-r    yet     wa-ve.  

6     6    7 -8   8  -9  9
O'er the  la-nd  of the free  

 7   -8  8   -9  -8  7
and the home of the brave.
