SONG: THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER ARTIST: JESSE WELLES TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] NONE [Chorus]
     G
The Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing

 C
Blame it on the alcohol or Francis Scott Key

   D7
Oh say, oh say, oh
Can’t you see?
      C     N.C.
That dadgum flag song is hard to sing
[Verse]
    G
Roseanne had some trouble with it
Carl Lewis was pretty bad
 C
Fergie had a moment
Ingrid went to rehab
            D7
It was the Battle of Baltimore
The year is 1810 and 4
 C  N.C.
Francis Scott Key wrote a poem real quick
And he set it to a tune by Mr. John Smith
               G
That’s how we got it
[Verse]
       G
The Defense of Fort McHenry is a difficult tune

             C
Hell, I can hardly sing but it sure beats me
It could probably beat you too
           D7
It’s got a melody
Spendin' cеnturies With words I've nevеr used
         C  N.C.
And you mostly gotta sing it
In front of a big 'ole herd of drunken dudes [Break]
             G
It's hard to do

      D   N.C.
It's hard enough
Let alone left to mean You got war and gore on the TV screen
     C    N.C.
And every damn thing's a conspiracy
Man, the Star Spangled Banner's kinda hard to sing
     G
Uh, huh
[Instrumental] (Whistle) G D7 D7 C G G G [Chorus]
     G
The Star Spangled Banner is hard to sing

 C
Blame it on the alcohol or Francis Scott Key

Oh say, oh say, oh
Can’t you see?
      C     N.C.
