Song: My Country tis of Thee Words by: Samuel F. SmithSheet Music/Tabs: None :(Ocarina: Eagle Pendant - http://whistleworks.comI wanted to make a video really quick to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day! Although it is widely known as the British National Anthem, "God Save the Queen", an American named Samuel F. Smith added new lyrics to the melody in 1831 and it became well known as an American patriotic hymn. It was soon recognized as America's unofficial National Anthem, but was officially replaced by the adoption of "Star Spangled Banner" in 1931.The reason I picked this song is because there aren't many patriotic songs you can play on a 4 hole ocarina, lol. And I think I should note that I'm blowing in the Eagle's tail, despite what others are suggesting. Please keep the comments clean people...Thanks everyone and God Bless America!Lyrics:My country,' tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing; land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims' pride, from every mountainside let freedom ring!My native country, thee,Land of the noble free,Thy name I love;I love thy rocks and rills,Thy woods and templed hills;My heart with rapture thrills,Like that above.Let music swell the breeze,And ring from all the treesSweet freedom's song;Let mortal tongues awake;Let all that breathe partake;Let rocks their silence break,The sound prolong.Our father's God to Thee,Author of liberty,To Thee we sing.Long may our land be bright,With freedom's holy light,Protect us by Thy might,Great God our King.
