Hail Co-lum-bia, hap-py land! 
 -4   -4 -5  4      -4    3    -4
Hail, ye he-roes, heav'n-born band, 
-1    3     3   3   -4 -3 3  -3     3
Who fought and bled in free-dom's cause,

And when the storm of war was gone 
3 -2*3-3 -4-33 -2*   2   -1  -1 -1
En-joy'd  the peace your val-or won.

Let in-de-pen-dence be our boast,  
-3 -3  -4  -4   -3  -3  -3
Ev-er mind-ful what it cost;

Ev-er grate-ful for the prize, 
 3   3 -33 -3-4  3    3    3
Let its al-tar reach the skies.

Rally-ing round our lib-er-ty, 
2  2  4  -33 3 -3  -44   -5
As a band of broth-ers joined, 
-4-3-44-4-3 3 -2* 3    3    3
Peace and safe-ty we shall find.
