A (opening chord)
[Chorus]
D A
This land is your land, this land is my land
E A A7
From California to the New York Island
D A
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Verse 1]
D A
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps
E A A7
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
D A
And all around me, a voice was singing
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Chorus]
D A
This land is your land, this land is my land
E A A7
From California to the New York Island
D A
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Verse 2]
D A
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
E A A7
I saw above me that endless skyway
D A
I saw below me those golden valleys
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Chorus]
D A
This land is your land, this land is my land
E A A7
From California to the New York Island
D A
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Verse 3]
D A
As the sun was shining, and I was strolling
E A A7
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
D A
As the fog was lifting, A voice was singing,
E A
This land was made for you and me.
[Chorus]
D A
This land is your land, this land is my land
E A A7
From California to the New York Island
D A
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
E A
This land was made for you and me.
E A A (Strum "A" once to end)
This land was made for you and me.
