Battle Hymn Of The Republic - America The Beautiful

Intro - slowly Gm C4 C F (His truth is mar-ching on) F F glissando Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; A# F C7 glissando He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; F F/A A7 Dm glissando He hath loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible, swift sword; Gm C4 C F His truth is mar-ching on. F F/A A# A#/G F F7 Glory! Glory! halle-lu- jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah! F F/A A7/C# Dm Gm C4 C F Glory! Glory! halle- lu - jah! His truth is mar-ching on. Verse 2 - a capella duet N.C. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, N.C. With a glory in His bosom that trans-figures you and me; N.C. As He died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, Gm C4 C F While God is mar-ching on. F F/A I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps, A# F C7 They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps; F F/A I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps: A# C4 F His day is marching on. F F/A A# A#/G F F7 Glory! Glory! halle-lu- jah! Glory! Glory! hallelu-jah! F F/A A7/C# Dm Gm C4 C F Glory! Glory! halle- lu - jah! His truth is mar-ching on.
