My Country'Tis of Thee

(Arranged at the Late Elementary Level)

The full title of this wonderful patriotic piece is actually

"America (My Country 'Tis of Thee)"...a song that was
appropriated from the British national anthem, "God Save the
Queen." The music is identical, but different lyrics were added
by Samuel F. Smith for the American song. This is a piece I think
every American student should learn how to play!

If you're in the U.K. and wish to have an alternate version with

the original lyrics, please feel free to contact me at

Enjoy!
