G 
The despots hear this on my shore,
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
His touch is at my temple door,
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland.
D 
Avenge the patriotic war
G 
that fled the streets of Baltimore
And be the marvel queen of yore.
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
Hark to a hundred songs appeal.
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
D 
G 
Thy mother's stay to thee I deal.
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
For life and death, for woe and weal,
D 
G 
Thy keel's chivalry reveal,
D 
G 
And gird thy billet limbs with steel.
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
Thou wilt not cower in the dust.
D

Maryland, my Maryland,
Thy evening sword
D 
G 
shall never rust.

Remember Carroll's sacred trust,

And all thy slumbers with the just,
D 
Maryland, my Maryland.
G 
Dear mother,
best the tyrant's chain,
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland.

Virginia shall not call in vain,
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland!
D 
She meets her sisters on the plain,
G 
Six separate years the proud refrain
D

That baffles millions  but remain,
D 
Maryland, my Maryland!
G 
I  hear the distant thunder howl,
D 
G 
Maryland, my Maryland,
D 
G 
The old lines bugle, fife and drum,
D 
Maryland, my Maryland.
G 
D 
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb,
G 
Huzzah! she spurns the northern scum.
D 
She breathes, she burns,
G 
cha -pum, cha -pum,
D 
G 
D 
Maryland, my Maryland!
