This Land is Your Land - Woody Guthrie

 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Surprisingly I was unable to find a decent tab of "This Land is Your Land" as played

by Woody Guthrie, so I decided to give it a shot. This is my attempt at to tab it

out as played on volume 1, of the Asch Recordings. Note that there are sometimes

significant variations in both the lyrics and music between different recording.

There are two version of this song on the cd - tracks 1 and 14. I included

the intros and solos from both of these tracks since they are quite different.

For the verses/chorus, I mainly used track 1, but there are only slight differences

between track 1 and track 14.

He plays this song in the key of D on this recording. Because of the various

hammer-ons and the alternating bass it appears that he is capoed on the second

fret. The chord names are relative to the capo.

Woody Guthrie used a flat pick to play many of his songs, including this one. I did

my best to indicate the strumming between the melody/bass notes. V indicates a down-

stroke and ^ indicates an up stroke. I also did my best to indicate the timing.

There are also some slight variations between the verses, so if you want to play

it exactly the way he played it listen to the record for these. The song ends

as he appears to go back into the solo.

Please leave a comment if you find any mistakes.

Chorus:

This land is [F]your land, this land is [C]my land

From Cali[G]fornia to the New York [C]Island

From the Redwood [F]Forest to the Gulf Stream [C]waters

[G]This land was made for you and [C]me.

As I went [F]walking that ribbon of [C]highway

I saw a[G]bove me that endless [C]skyway

I saw be[F]low me that golden [C]valley

[G]This land was made for you and [C]me.

(Solo)

I roamed and I [F]rambled and I followed my [C]footsteps

To the sparkling [G]sands of her diamond [C]deserts

While all a[F]round me a voice was [C]sounding

[G]This land was made for you and [C]me.

(Chorus)

When the sun came [F]shining, and I was [C]strolling

And the wheat fields [G]waving and the dust clouds [C]rolling

A voice come a [F]chanting, As the fog was [C]lifting,

[G]This land was made for you and [C]me.

(Outro) (fades out as he plays beginning of solo)

Additional Verses:

As I went [F]walking I saw a sign [C]there

And on the sign it [G]said "No Tres[C]passing."

But on the [F]other side it didn't say [C]nothing,

[G]That side was made for you and [C]me.

In the squares of the [F]city, In the shadow of a [C]steeple;

By the relief [G]office, I'd seen my [C]people.

As they stood there [F]hungry, I stood there [C]asking,

[G]Is this land made for you and [C]me?

Nobody [F]living can ever stop [C]me,

As I go [G]walking that freedom [C]highway;

Nobody [F]living can [C]make me turn back

[G]This land was made for you and [C]me.

 Surprisingly I was unable to find a decent tab of "This Land is Your Land" as played
 by Woody Guthrie, so I decided to give it a shot. This is my attempt at to tab it
 out as played on volume 1, of the Asch Recordings. Note that there are sometimes
 significant variations in both the lyrics and music between different recording.
 
 There are two version of this song on the cd - tracks 1 and 14. I included
 the intros and solos from both of these tracks since they are quite different.
 For the verses/chorus, I mainly used track 1, but there are only slight differences
 between track 1 and track 14.
 
 He plays this song in the key of D on this recording. Because of the various
 hammer-ons and the alternating bass it appears that he is capoed on the second
 fret. The chord names are relative to the capo.
 
 Woody Guthrie used a flat pick to play many of his songs, including this one. I did
 my best to indicate the strumming between the melody/bass notes. V indicates a down-
 stroke and ^ indicates an up stroke. I also did my best to indicate the timing.
 
 There are also some slight variations between the verses, so if you want to play
 it exactly the way he played it listen to the record for these. The song ends
 as he appears to go back into the solo.

 This land is [F]your land, this land is [C]my land
 From Cali[G]fornia to the New York [C]Island
 From the Redwood [F]Forest to the Gulf Stream [C]waters
 [G]This land was made for you and [C]me.
 
 
 As I went [F]walking that ribbon of [C]highway
 I saw a[G]bove me that endless [C]skyway
 I saw be[F]low me that golden [C]valley
 [G]This land was made for you and [C]me.
 
 (Solo)
 
 I roamed and I [F]rambled and I followed my [C]footsteps
 To the sparkling [G]sands of her diamond [C]deserts
 While all a[F]round me a voice was [C]sounding
 [G]This land was made for you and [C]me.
 
 (Chorus)
 
 When the sun came [F]shining, and I was [C]strolling
 And the wheat fields [G]waving and the dust clouds [C]rolling
 A voice come a [F]chanting, As the fog was [C]lifting,
 [G]This land was made for you and [C]me.
 
 
 (Outro) (fades out as he plays beginning of solo)
 
 
 Additional Verses:
 
 As I went [F]walking I saw a sign [C]there
 And on the sign it [G]said "No Tres[C]passing."
 But on the [F]other side it didn't say [C]nothing,
 [G]That side was made for you and [C]me.
 
 In the squares of the [F]city, In the shadow of a [C]steeple;
 By the relief [G]office, I'd seen my [C]people.
 As they stood there [F]hungry, I stood there [C]asking,
 [G]Is this land made for you and [C]me?
 
 Nobody [F]living can ever stop [C]me,
 As I go [G]walking that freedom [C]highway;
 Nobody [F]living can [C]make me turn back
 [G]This land was made for you and [C]me.
