[Eb] [Cm] The mills and [B] saws and great shacks and [Bb] farms and mills
[Eb] Even the [Dm] rounded one, he found here
All the [Bb] contradictions that have [Gm] found
Good [Cm] surviving, evil thriving, everything in [G] disarray
[Eb] When crowned and up [Bb] he sent us
This one never could, yet this never [Eb] would
Don't you know?
[Dm] [Bb]
But [G] by the years, [C] upon [Fm] the years
[Bb] We're not a-none, but more [Gm] than we [Eb] were
Say, well, [G] the model [Cm] of God would never let [G] us go astray
[Eb] But here today, where there's no fear [Bb] of God
In the wilderness, not in the wilderness
Say, we're shepherds and turkeys and stuff
You saw by [Cm] the [Bb] star, oh, we saw
There's a man [Fm] who once was a [F] hermit [Gm] by our [Bb] way
[Eb] Born to start [Bb] all those ways
To hope, [Eb] dream, and [Fm] pray
And now the [Eb] leaves of West [Bb] Virginia are [Eb] singing
With his love [Bb] all the prayers to the best [Gm] of may
[D] Now we're starting and [Bb] where will it never
[Eb] We [Bb] soar as the northern [Fm] fair country's high
In [Eb] glory of the stars [Bb] that shine [Eb] forever
[Ab] We cheer for the red, white, and blue
For the red is the blood [Bbm] of our brothers
The white is the light of the [Eb] star
[Ab] That has led [Db] us from where [Eb] we are
The [Ab] blue is the view of the sky
[C] Whereupon the almighty [Bb] calls us [Fm] ever
[Dbm] Our banner [E] go [Ab] to and forget
Oh, fly on, miss, to the stars that shine [Eb] forever
