[Bb]
In a chariot of light from [Eb] the regions [F] of day, [Cm] the [Gm] goddess [Bb] of liberty [F] came.
[Bb] Ten thousand celestials directed [F] the way, [Bb] and Hither [F] conducted [Bb] the day.
[Dm] A fair budding branch [Am] from the gardens above, [Dm] where millions [Am] with millions [Bb]
agree,
she brought in her hand [Eb] as a pledge [Bb] of her love, and the plant she [F] named Liberty [Bb] Tree.
[F] [Bb]
Beneath this fair tree, [Eb] like the patriarchs of old, [Gm] their bread in [Bb]
contentment they ate.
Unvexed with the troubles [Eb] of silver [F] and gold, [Bb] the cares of [F] the grand and the [Bb] great.
With timber and tar they [Am] old England supplied, [Dm] and supported [Am] her plough on [Dm] the sea.
