THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

Woody Guthrie

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                      
This land was made for you and me


As I was walking a 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 roamed and rambled and I 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 as voice was chanting   CHORUS

As I was walking I saw a sign there
And that sign said  no tresspassing
But on the other side it didn't say nothin
Now that side was made for you and me CHORUS
