Star Spangled Banner - key of A

A                                         F#m              B7 E
Oh say can you see by the dawn's early     light

               A                 E                   A
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

A                                                                              F#m    B7  E
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the peri - lous fight

               A                   E                           A                     
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming

              A                   E                          Bm             D
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air

       A                            E                     F#m        B7  E
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

       A                      D                    Bm              Esus  E 
Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wa  -  ave

              A                                                D   E    A
O'er the land of the free and the home of  the brave
