Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,

5  -5 6    -6     -7   6
for amber waves of grain,

6    6 5      5    6    6 -4  -4
for purple mountain majesties

-8   7 -8    8   -6   -8
above thy fruit-ed plain,

6   8 8 -8   7    7 -7 -7
A-me-ri-ca, A-mer-i-ca,

7     -8     -7   -6    6    7
God shed his grace on thee.

7       7   -6     -6     7      7   6    6
And crown thy good with brotherhood

  6     -6   7    6  -8   7
From sea to shining sea.
