THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND 
    words and music by Woody Guthrie
    
    Chorus:
    This land is your land, this land is my land
    From California, to the New York Island
    From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
    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've roamed and rambled and I've 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 a voice come chanting
    This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin'  -  I saw a sign there
    And that sign said - no tress passin'
    But on the other side  .... it didn't say nothin!
    Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
    Near the relief office - I see my people
    And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
    If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)
