#chorus :
G7 C G
this land is your land; this land is my land
D7 G
from cali – fornia to the new york island
[ G7 ] from the redwood [ C ] forest
to the gulf stream [ G ] waters [ Em ]
D7 G G7
this land was made for you and me
G7 C G
#1 . as i went walking that ribbon of highway
D7 G G7
i saw A – bove me that endless skyway
G7 C G Em
i saw be – low me that golden valley
D7 G G7
this land was made for you and me
#chorus :
#2 .
[ G7 ] i roamed and [ C ] rambled
and i followed my [ G ] footsteps
to the sparkling [ D7 ] sands
of her diamond [ G ] deserts [ G7 ]
C G Em
and all A – round me a voice was sounding
D7 G G7
this land was made for you and me
#chorus :
#3 . [ G7 ] when the sun came [ C ] shining
then i was [ G ] strolling
and the wheat fields [ D7 ] waving
and the dust clouds [ G ] rolling [ G7 ]
G7 C G Em
a voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
D7 G G7
this land was made for you and me
#chorus :
#4 .
G7 C G
as i went walking; i saw a sign there .
D7 G G7

G7 C G Em

D7 G G7
that side was made for you and me
#chorus :
