E A E B7 As long as the union was faithful to her trust, E A B7 E Like friend and bretheren, kind were we and just A E B7 But now when Northern treachery attempts our rights to mar, E A B7 E We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a single star! E B7 A E Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! E A B7 E Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! E A E B7 First, gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand; E A B7 E Then came Alabama, who took her by the hand; A E B7 Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, E A B7 E All rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star! E B7 A E Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! E A B7 E Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! E A E B7 Ye men of valor, gather 'round the banner of the right, E A B7 E Texas and fair Louisiana, join us in the fight; A E B7 Davis, our loved President, and Stephens, Statesman rare, E A B7 E Now rally 'round the Bonnie Blue Flag, that bears a single star!

E B7 A E Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! E A B7 E Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! Then cheer boys, cheer, and raise the joyous shout; For Arkansas and North Carolina now have both gone out; And let another rousing cheer for Tennessee be giv'n, The single star of the Bonnie Blue Flag has grown to be Eleven E B7 A E Hurrah! Hurrah! for southern rights, hurrah! E A B7 E Hurrah! for the Bonnie Blue flag that bears a single star! Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
