Verse:

C         Dbdim        Dm7
While the storm clouds gather
G7              C   A
 far across the sea,
                Dm7
Let us swear al-legiance
G7               C
to a land that's free,

Dbdim         Dm7
Let us all be grateful
B7            Em7
for a land so fair,
Am7             G     Am7
As we raise our voices
     D7     G7     G7+5
in a solemn prayer

Chorus:

C   G7    CdimG7
God bless A merica.
            C   C7
Land that I love
         F             C
Stand be side her, and guide her
                      G7           C
Thru the night with a light from a bove.

         G7                C
From the mountains, to the prairies,
       G7                 C   C7
To the oceans, white with foam
F   G7      C     Am
God bless A merica
   C    G7    C
My home sweet home.

            C

Stand be side her, and guide her

Thru the night with a light from a bove.

My home sweet home
