My country, 'tis of thee,

 5     5   -5  5 -4 4  -4   4 -3  4
Sweet land of Liberty, of thee I sing;

Land where my fathers died,

land of the pilgrim's pride,

From e  v  'r y   mountain side,  Let    

  5 -4   4
Freedom ring.

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. 

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 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!
