Hi gerrit,
Looks like you just about got it whipped.  If you search chordie's 'Songs' index under "National Anthem" and also "Star Spangled Banner" you can find several tab versions that may help you complete your version.

It is a great melody - actually, it is a melody for a British drinking song popular in the late 1700's and early 1800's.  "To Anacreon in Heaven" is the name of the tune.  The Anacreotic Society was a gentlemen's club in London.

Well James, I love to read that you know your history.
History is for me VERY important it repeats itself always. Do you love history?
