robingiebes / soundeducators.org GiebelUke Songbook

This Land Is Your Land

(in original key) SOPRANO/CONCERT/TENOR

CHORUS This land is (C) your land This land is (G) my land From Cali(D7)fornia to the New York (G) island; From the red wood (C) forest to the Gulf Stream (G) waters (D7) This land was made for you and (G) Me. As I was walking that ribbon of highway, I saw above me that endless skyway: I saw below me that golden valley: This land was made for you and me. REPEAT CHORUS I've roamed and rambled and I 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. REPEAT CHORUS When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting: This land was made for you and me. REPEAT CHORUS

BARITONE As I went walking I saw a sign there And on the sign it said "No Trespassing." But on the other side it didn't say nothing, That side was made for you and me. REPEAT CHORUS In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people, By the relief office I seen my people; As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking Is this land made for you and me? REPEAT CHORUS Nobody living can ever stop me, As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can ever make me turn back This land was made for you and me. REPEAT CHORUS
