FREE AMERICA
Lyrics by Joseph Warren (1774)
Music by:  Traditional (set to the tune of "The British Grenadiers")


[Verse 1]
     G
That seat of science Athens,
                  D         G
And earth’s proud mistress, Rome.
G
Where now are all their glories?
   D                 G
We scarce can find a tomb.
G
Then guard your rights, Americans,
    C        G       D
Nor stoop to lawless sway,
G       D       G       C
Oppose, oppose, oppose, oppose
    G       D  G
For North America.


[Verse 2]
      G
Proud Albion bow’d to Caesar,
             D       G
And numerous lords before,
   G
To Picts, to Danes, to Normans,
    D            G
And many masters more;
    G
But we can boast Americans
     C     G        D
Have never fall’n a prey,
G      D      G      C
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza
    G      D  G
For Free America.


[Verse 3]
   G
We led fair Freedom hither,
            D      G
And lo, the desert smiled,
  G
A paradise of pleasure
           D      G
New opened in the wild;
     G
Your harvest, bold Americans,
   C           G       D
No power shall snatch away,
G         D         G             C
Preserve, preserve, preserve your rights
   G      D  G
In Free America.


[Verse 4]
     G
Torn from a world of tyrants
             D       G
Beneath this western sky
   G
We formed a new dominion,
          D    G
A land of liberty;
    G
The world shall own we’re freemen here,
    C         G    D
And such will ever be,
G      D      G      C
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza
    G        D    G
For love and liberty.


[Verse 5]
    G
God bless this maiden climate,
                D      G
And through her vast domain
    G
May hosts of heroes cluster
              D      G
That scorn to wear a chain.
    G
And blast the venal sycophants
    C        G        D
Who dare our rights betray;
G           D          G           C
Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves
    G       D  G
For brave America.


[Verse 6]
     G
Lift up your hearts, my heroes,
               D        G
And swear with proud disdain,
    G
The wretch that would ensnare you
                 D      G
Shall spread his net in vain;
       G
Should Europe empty all her force,
     C         G    D
We’d meet them in array,
    G     D      G      C
And shout huzza, huzza, huzza
    G       D  G
For brave America.


[Verse 7]
    G
The land where freedom reigns shall still
           D      G
Be masters of the main,
   G
In giving laws and freedom
           D          G
To subject France and Spain;
    G
And all the isles o’er ocean spread
      C       G    D
Shall tremble and obey,
    G          D        G         C
The prince who rules by Freedom’s laws
   G       D  G
In North America.
