Battle Hymn of the Republic brought down to day (video) (midi)

G C G

Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah,

Em Am D G

glory, glory Hallelujah, our troop is marching on.

G

1. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the launching of the sword,

C G

it is trampling out the village where the stranger’s wealth is stored.

Em

We’ve loosed our fateful lightning, and with flame and death and sword,

Am D G

our might is marching on.

G C G

Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah,

Em Am D G

glory, glory Hallelujah, our might is marching on.

G

2. I’ve seen in it the watch fires of a hundred foreign camps,

C G

where we’ve builded him an altar in the eastern dews and damps.

Em

I’ve read its righteous sentence by the light of human lamps,

Am D G

our power is marching on.

G

3. I’ve seen its wrathful message writ in burnished rows of steel,

C G

as men deal with our pretensions, so with them our wealth should deal.

Em

Let the mighty sons of Freedom brush the patriot with our heel,

Am D G

our greed is marching on.

G C G

Glory, glory Hallelujah, glory, glory Hallelujah,

Em Am D G

glory, glory Hallelujah, our greed is marching on.
