G D
This land is your land, this land is my land
A D
From California to the New York Island
G D
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
A D
This land was made for you and me.
verse 1:
G D
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
A D
I saw above me that endless skyway
G D
I saw below me that golden valley
A D
This land was made for you and me.
Repeat Chorus
verse 2:
G D
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
A D
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
G D
While all around me a voice was sounding
A D
This land was made for you and me.
Repeat Chorus
verse 3:
G D
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
A D
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
G D
A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting,
A D
This land was made for you and me.
Repeat Chorus
verse 4:
G D
As I went walking I saw a sign there
A D
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing."
G D
But on the other side it didn't say nothing,
A D
That side was made for you and me.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 5:
G D
In the squares of the city, In the shadow of a steeple;
A D
By the relief office, I'd seen my people.
G D
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking,
A D
Is this land made for you and me?
Repeat Chorus
Verse 6:
G D
Nobody living can ever stop me,
A D
As I go walking that freedom highway;
G D
Nobody living can make me turn back
A D
This land was made for you and me.
