Текст песни Sufjan Stevens - The Star Spangled Banner

The Star Spangled Banner
Sufjan Stevens
So, one of my friends played this song at an Open Mic, and after looking it
up, I realized there's no charts for it anywhere online, and its actually 
pretty hard to find in general. Sufjan was making quite a statement when he 
first played this song; look it up, its pretty funny. Simple but powerful 
song.  Standard Tuning; no capo.

      (2x)

  Oh, say can you see,       by the dawns early light,
  What so proudly we hailed       at the twilights last gleaming?

(I play half the intro here)

  Whose broad stripes and bright stars,       through the perilous fight,
  Oer the ramparts we watched, oh-oh    were so gallantly streaming?

Pre-Chorus:
   And the rockets red glare, and the bombs in the air,
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there.

And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?

Pre-Chorus:
   And the rockets red glare, and the bombs in the air,
Gave us proof through the night that our flag was still there.

And the flag marked with blood, with the blood of our hands
And our hands marked with death, with the blood of a man
And a man on the cross, and the cross on our hearts
Has it done nothing more, than to drive us apart?

  O say, does that star (oh say does that star)
Spangled banner yet wave (spangled banner yet wave)
  Oer the land of the free (oer the land of the free)
And the home of the brave? (and the home of the brave?)

(Fade out on same chord progression)
