THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

 

Woody Guthrie

 

This land is [D] your land, [G] this land is [D] my land

From Cali-[A7]-fornia to the New York [D] Island

From the Redwood [G] forests to the Gulf Stream [D] waters

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

As I was [D] walking [G] that ribbon of [D] highway

I looked a-[A7]-bove me there in the [D] skyway

I saw be-[G]-low me the Golden [D] Valley

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

This land is [D] your land, [G] this land is [D] my land

From Cali-[A7]-fornia to the New York [D] Island

From the Redwood [G] forests to the Gulf Stream [D] waters

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

I roamed and [D] rambled [G] and followed my [D] footsteps

Through the sparkling [A7] sands of the diamond [D] deserts

And all a-[G]-round me this voice kept [D] saying,

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

This land is [D] your land, [G] this land is [D] my land,

From Cali-[A7]-fornia to the New York [D] Island,

From the Redwood [G] forests to the Gulf Stream [D] waters

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

As the Sun was [D] shining, [G] and I was [D] strolling

Through the wheat fields [A7] waving and the dust clouds [D] rolling

I could feel in-[G]-side me and see all a-[D]-round me,

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

This land is [D] your land, [G] this land is [D] my land,

From Cali-[A7]-fornia to the New York [D] Island,

From the Redwood [G] forests to the Gulf Stream [D] waters

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.

 

As I was [D] walking, [G] I saw a [D] sign there

And the [A7] sign said "no tres-[D]-passing"

But on the [G] other side, it didn't say [D] nothin'

[A7] That side was made for you and [D] me

 

This land is [D] your land, [G] this land is [D] my land,

From Cali-[A7]-fornia to the New York [D] Island,

From the Redwood [G] forests to the Gulf Stream [D] waters

[A7] This land was made for you and [D] me.
