Chorus:
              G                          D        
This land is your land, and this land is my land  
              A                      D       
From the California, to the New York Island  
                  G                         D  Bm   
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters  
A                              D   
This land was made for you and me  
   
          G                       D       
As I went walking that ribbon of highway  
        A                    D      
I saw above me that endless skyway  
         G                 D   Bm  
I saw below me that golden valley  
A                              D   
This land was made for you and me  
-Chorus
   
                G                              D         
I've roamed and rambled, and I've followed my footsteps  
                  A                   D        
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts  
       G                  D    Bm   
All around me a voice was sounding  
A                              D   
This land was made for you and me  
-Chorus
   
                    G                D         
When the sun comes shining as I was strolling  
                     A                           D       
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling  
             G                     D   Bm  
The fog was lifting a voice came chanting  
A                              D   
This land was made for you and me  
-Chorus
   
         G                  D          
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there  
               A            D        
And that sign said "No trespassin'"  
            G                            D   Bm   
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!  
      A                            D    
Now that side was made for you and me!  
-Chorus
   
                      G                            D       
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple  
                 A                 D      
Near the relief office - I see my people  
              G                      D   Bm    
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'  
    A                                 D   
If this land's still made for you and me  
-Chorus
   
        G               D       
Nobody living can ever stop me  
         A                    D        
As I go walking that freedom highway;  
        G               D            Bm   
Nobody living can ever make me turn back  
A                              D   
This land was made for you and me  
-Chorus
