Words and Music by George Frederick Root VERSE 1 G Em B7 C Yes, we'll rally round the flag, boys, we'll rally once again, G D Shouting the battle cry of freedom; G Em B7 C We will rally from the hillside, we'll gather from the plain, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! CHORUS C G The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! C G D Down with the traitor, up with the star; G Em B7 C While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! VERSE 2 G Em B7 C We are springing to the call of our brothers gone before, G D Shouting the battle cry of freedom; G Em B7 C And we'll fill the vacant ranks with a million freemen more, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! CHORUS C G The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! C G D Down with the traitor, up with the star; G Em B7 C While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! VERSE 3 G Em B7 C We will welcome to our numbers the loyal, true and brave, G D Shouting the battle cry of freedom; G Em B7 C And although they may be poor, not a man shall be a slave, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! CHORUS C G The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! C G D Down with the traitor, up with the star; G Em B7 C While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! VERSE 4 G Em B7 C So we're springing to the call from the East and from the West, G D Shouting the battle cry of freedom; G Em B7 C And we'll hurl the rebel crew from the land we love the best, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom! CHORUS C G The Union forever, hurrah, boys, hurrah! C G D Down with the traitor, up with the star; G Em B7 C While we rally round the flag, boys, rally once again, G D7 G Shouting the battle cry of freedom!
