Free America Chords

[Verse 1]
     G
Lift up your hands, ye heroes,
               D        G
And swear with proud disdain,
    G
The wretch that would ensnare you
                 D      G
Shall spread his net in vain;
       G
Should Europe empty all her force,
      C         G    D
We’ll meet them in array,
    G          D          G         C
And fight, and shout, and shout, and fight,
    G      D  G
For free America.
 
 
[Verse 2]
   G
We led fair freedom hither,
            D      G
And lo, the desert smiled,
  G
A paradise of pleasure
           D      G
Was opened in the wild;
     G
Your harvest, bold Americans,
   C           G       D
No power shall snatch away,
G         D         G             C
Preserve, preserve, preserve your rights
     G      D  G
In a Free America.
 
 
[Verse 3]
     G
Torn from a world of tyrants
             D       G
Beneath this western sky
   G
We formed a new dominion,
          D    G
A land of liberty;
    G
The world shall own we’re freemen here,
    C         G    D
And such will ever be,
G      D      G      C
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza
    G      D  G
For free America.
 
 
[Verse 4]
     G
Some future day shall crown us
            D      G
The masters of the main,
    G
Our fleet shall speak in thunder
            D          G
To England, France and Spain;
        G
Nations o’er the oceans spread
      C       G    D
Shall tremble and obey,
    G          D        G         C
The prince who rules by Freedom’s laws
   G       D  G
In North America.
