Star Spangled Banner (Smith & Key)
Key of Cmaj
TAB by Carl Brown (The Devolutionist)
The rhythm is not shown, but I think most
people can feel it out by memory.

Additions of "Fig #" and Corrections by John Hohengarten (hoey@mail.wsu.edu)
I noticed on the last note he had it on a string too high,
so I tried it on the 10th fret on the D string, it sounded
more correct, see what you think.
He had it on G string on his original post.
(I didn't include original post of this Fig on this one)
I also noticed in Fig 4, he had an extra D played on 10th fret, it didn't
sound right, so I took it out and it sounds more like it (I even went and
listened to the original song by Key as well to verify this).
See if you agree with me.
