Chorus:
3 -3 4 4 4
This land is your land,
4 3 -3 -4 -4
this land is my land
-1 3 -4 -3 -3
From California,
-3 -3 3 -3 -4 -4
to the New York Island
3 3 -3 -4 4 4
From the redwood forest,
4 4 3 -3 -4 -4
to the gulf stream waters
-3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
This land was made for you and me
3 -3 -4 4 4
As I was walking
4 3 3 -3 -4 -4
a ribbon of highway
-1 3 -4 -3 -3
I- saw above me
-3 3 -3 -4 -4
an endless skyway
3 -3 -4 4 4
I saw below me
4 3 -3 -4 -4
a golden valley
-3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
This land was made for you and me
(Chorus)
3 -3 -4 4 4
I've roamed and rambled
4 3 3 -3 -4 -4
and followed my footsteps
-1 -1 3 -4 -3 -3
To the sparkling sands of
-3 3 -3 -4 -4
her diamond deserts
3 -3 -4 4 4
And all around me
4 3 -3 -4 -4
a voice was sounding
-3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
3 -3 -4 4 4
The sun comes shining
4 3 -3 -4 -4
as I was strolling
-1 3 -4 -3 -3
The wheat fields waving
-3 -3 3 -3 -4 -4
and the dust clouds rolling
3 -3 -4 4 4
The fog was lifting
4 3 -3 -4 -4
a voice come chanting
-3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
This land was made for you and me
(Chorus)
3 -3 -4 4 4
As I was walkin'
4 3 -3 -4 -4
I saw a sign there
3 -4 -3 -3
And that sign said
3 -3 -4 -4
no tress passin'
3 -3 -4 4 4
But on the other side
4 3 -3 -4 -4
it didn't say nothin!
-3 -3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
Now that side was made for you and me!
(Chorus)
3 3 3 -3 -4 4 4
In the squares of the city
4 4 3 3 3 -3 -4 -4
In the shadow of the steeple
3 3 -4 -4 -3 -3
Near the relief office
3 -3 -3 -4 -4
I see my people
3 -3 -4 4 4
And some are grumblin'
4 3 -3 -4 -4
and some are wonderin'
-3 -3 -3 -3 <-2 -1 <-2 -3 3
If this land's still made for you and me.
(Chorus 2x)Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
