This Land Is Your Land - words - Woodie Guthrie

Chorus (start with chorus and after every verse):
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the coast of Cornwall to the Scottish Highlands
From the sacred forests, to the holy islands
This land was made for you and me


1. As I was walking along the High Street,
The traffic raging, raging all around me
I closed my eyes and dreamed how it could be
This land was made for you and me

2. So I am going, no one can stop me,
where the wild flowers growing, clean rivers flowing
Fresh winds are blowing, and the tall trees whispering,
This land was made for you and me
3. I saw a sign there, when I was walking
and on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side, it did say nothing,
This sign was made for you and me

4. As the clouds went rolling, and the church bells ringing,
I heard the songs that the birds were singing
As night came falling, they went on calling,
This land was made for you and me

5. From the teeming city I made my escape
to find my place in the mystic landscape
I'm not the first here nor am I the last here,
This land was made for you and me.
