Fm Fm Db Ab Bbm Fm Db Eb F Db From my father's veins my life I drew, as in patriots arms I lay and from those lips Ab Bbm Fm Db Eb Fm Ab Eb learned the lessons true that have steered me day by day. and nursed to rest on a loving Fm Db Eb Fm Db Ab Bbm breast and rocked at a patriot's knee, God strengthen still my mind and will, and the Fm Db Fm patriot's heart in me. CHORUS Ab Eb Fm Db Eb Fm Db The loyal heart, the patriot's heart from the shame of slavery free, God strengthen still my Ab Bb Fm Db Fm mind and will, and the patriots heart in me.
