We [D]are a band of [G]brothers, and [D]native to the [A]soil,
[D]Fighting for our liberty, with [A]treasure, blood and [D]toil;
And when our rights were [G]threatened, the [D]cry rose near and [A]far,
Hur-[D]rah for the Bonnie Blue Flag, that [A]bears a Single [D]Star.
{i}Chorus:{/i}
{i}[D]Hurrah! [A]Hurrah! For [G]Southern rights, hur-[D]rah!{/i}
{i}[D]Hurrah for the [G]Bonnie Blue Flag that [A]bears a single [D]star.{/i}
{i}Followed by instrumental break (1X){/i}
As [D]long as the [G]Union was [D]faithful to her [A]trust,
Like [D]friends and like brethren, [A]kind were we, and [D]just;
But now, when Northern [G]treachery a-[D]ttempts our rights to [A]mar,
We [D]hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag that [A]bears a single [D]star.
First [D]gallant South [G]Carolina [D]nobly made the [A]stand,
[D]Then came Alabama and [A]took her by the [D]hand;
Next, quickly, Missis-[G]sippi, [D]Georgia, and [A]Florida,
All [D]raised on high the Bonnie Blue flag that [A]bears a single [D]star.
Ye [D]men of valor [G]gather round the [D]banner of the [A]right,
[D]Texas and fair Louisiana [A]join us in the [D]fight;
Davis, our loved [G]President, and [D]Stephens statesmen [A]are;
Now [D]rally round the Bonnie Blue Flag that [A]bears a single [D]star.
And [D]here's to brave Vir-[G]ginia, the [D]Old Dominion [A]State.
[D]With the young Confederacy at [A]length has linked her [D]fate.
Impelled by her ex-[G]ample, now [D]other States pre-[A]pare
To [D]hoist on high the Bonnie Blue flag that [A]bears a single [D]star.
Then [D]here's to our Con-[G]federacy, [D]strong we are and [A]brave,
Like [D]patriots of old, we'll fight our [A]heritage to [D]save;
And rather than sub-[G]mit to shame, to [D]die we would pre-[A]fer,
So [D]cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag that [A]bears a Single [D]Star.
