This Land Is Your Land
Woody Guthrie, 1940· Songs Well-Known in America · p.332
Chorus:
G C G
This land is your land, this land is my land
D G
From California, to the New York Island
C G
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
D G C G
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
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 came shining as I was strolling
With the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting a voice come calling
This land was made for you and me (Chorus)
(Optional Verse)
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 sign was made for you and me! (Chorus)
