^AO beautiful for ^Espacious skies, For ^E7amber waves of ^Agrain^E7, For ^Apurple mountain ^Emajesties A^B7bove the fruited p^Elain^E7! A^America! A^Bmmeric^Ea! God ^E7shed his grace on ^Athee^A7, And ^Dcrown thy good with ^Abrotherhood, from ^Dsea to ^E7shining ^Asea!

[Verse 2]

^AO beautiful for ^Epilgrim feet, Whose s^E7tern, impassioned ^Astres^E7s A ^Athoroughfare of ^Efreedom beat A^B7cross the wilder^Eness^E7! A^America! A^Bmmeric^Ea! God ^E7mend thine every ^Aflaw^A7, Con^Dfirm thy soul in ^Aself-control, Thy ^Dliber^E7ty in ^Alaw!

[Verse 3]

^AO beautiful for ^Eheroes proved In l^E7iberating s^Atrife^E7, Who ^Amore than self their c^Eountry loved, and ^B7mercy more than ^Elife^E7! A^America! A^Bmmeric^Ea! May G^E7od thy gold re^Afine^A7, Till ^Dall success be ^Anobleness, and ^Devery ^E7gain di^Avine!
