The Bonnie Blue Flag chords and lyrics - BURL IVES

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[C]Two southern rallying songs
were Dixie,
which originated as a northern
minstrel tune,
and The Bonnie Blue Flag,
based on an Irish musical song.
We are a band of [G]brothers
and [C]native to the [G]soil
Fight[C]ing for our [Am]property
we [F]gain by honest toil
[C]And when our rights were threatened
the [G]cry rose near and far
Hurrah [C]for the [Am]bon nie blue flag
that [F]bears a single [C]star
Hurrah, hurrah for [F]Southern rights
Hur[C]rah, hurrah for the [F]bonnie blue [C]flag
that [G]carries a single [C]star
As long as the [F]Union
was [C]faithful to her [G]trust,
Like [C]friends and like [Am]brothers,
we were kind and we were [C]just.
But now when Northern treachery
attempts [G]our rights to mar,
We [C]hoist on high the bon[Am]nie blue flag
that [F]bears a single [C]star.
Hurrah! Hurrah!
For [F]Southern rights!
Hur[C]rah! Hurrah!
For the bonnie blue flag
that [G]carries a single [C]star!
