Woody Guthrie – This Land Is Your Land    (1945)

                 G                                     D              

This land is your land, and this land is my land,

                      A                       D      D7

From California, to the New York Island

                 G                                      D             

From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters,

         A             A7               D

this land was made for you & me

         G                   D                        

As I was walking a ribbon of highway, 

           A                  D      D7

I saw above me an endless skyway

        G               D                

I saw below me a golden valley,

        A             A7               D

This land was made for you and me

[Chorus]

I’ve roamed and rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was sounding

This land was made for you and me

[Chorus]

The sun comes shining as I was strolling

The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling

The fog was lifting a voice come chanting

This land was made for you and me

[Chorus]

As I was walkin’  –  I saw a sign there

And that sign said – no tress passin’

But on the other side  …. it didn’t say nothin!

Now that side was made for you and me!

[Chorus]

In the squares of the city – In the shadow of the steeple

Near the relief office – I see my people

And some are grumblin’ and some are wonderin’

If this land’s still made for you and me.
