This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie

    Chorus

                 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.

    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.
    

    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.

    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.

    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?
    

    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.
