Tonart: G minor•
Verse 1
D
Gm
We gather today at a moment unique
in the history of the
United States.
This is the first time that
the United States Congress
has solemnly resolved
that the President of the United
States
Abm
Gm
shall proclaim an honorary citizenship
for the citizen of another
country.
In proclaiming him an honorary citizen,
I only propose a formal recognition
of the place he has long since won
in the history of freedom
and in the affections of my, and now his,
fellow countrymen.
Whenever and wherever tyranny threatened,
Eb
Gm
he has always championed liberty.
Abm
Gm
Facing firmly towards the future,
Abm
he has never forgotten the
Gm
past.
Serving six monarchs
of his native Great Britain,
he has served all men's
freedom and dignity.
In the dark days and darker nights,
when England stood alone
and most men save Englishmen,
despaired of England's life,
he mobilized the English language
and sent it into battle.
F
The incandescent quality of his words
Gm
illuminated the courage of
his countrymen.
Indifferent himself to danger,
he wept over the sorrows of others.
A child of the House of Commons,
he became its father.
Accustomed to the hardships of battle,
he had no distaste for pleasure.
Now his stately ship of life,
having weathered the severest storms
of a troubled century,
is anchored in tranquil waters,
Gm
proof that courage and faith
and zest for freedom
are truly indestructible.
The record of his triumphant passage
will inspire free hearts all over the globe.
Gm
By adding his name to our roles,
we mean to honor him.
But his acceptance honors us much more.
For no statement or proclamation
D
can enrich its name now.
The name Sir Winston Churchill
is already legend.
