There should be a 4 between 2 and 5 here.^^^

(I assume that "full bend" in the first line means you bend it so that it

sounds two frets higher; if that's the case, then that's fine.)

Here's some chords that I scraped together (in C, not E):

THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER (Francis Scott Key)

--------------------------------------------

[I suspect that some of these chords are very subject to improvisation;

in fact, if you wanted to, you could pretty much play a different chord

for each note, by playing C under C, E, or G, F under F, A, or C, and so

on, sort of like I did for the very last line. So I just wrote down my

own little interpretation.]

Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there

Oh say, does that star-spangled banner yet wa - ave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
