words & music by Woody Guthrie, 1940

This full version includes all verses (including the ones that decry the downside of capitalism)

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
This land is	your land, this land is	my land

	D7	G
From Cali-	fornia to the New York	Island

	C	G
From the Redwood	forest to the Gulf Stream	Waters

	D7	G
	This land was made for you and	me

	C	G
As I went	walking that ribbon of	highway

	D7	G
I saw a-	bove me that endless	skyway

	C	G
I saw be-	low me that golden	valley

	D7	G
	This land was made for you and	me

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
I roamed and	rambled and I followed my	footsteps

	D7	G
To the sparkling	sands of her diamond	deserts

	C	G
And all a-	round me a voice was	sounding

	D7	G
	This land was made for you and	me

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
When the sun came	shining then I was	strolling

	D7	G
And the wheat fields	waving and the dust clouds	rolling

	C	G
A voice was	chanting as the fog was	lifting

	D7	G
	This land was made for you and	me

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
As I went	walking, I saw a	sign there,

	D7	G
And on the	sign it said "No Tres-	passing."

	C	G
But on the	other side it didnât say	nothing,

	D7	G
	That side was made for you and	me.

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
In the shadow of the	steeple I saw my	people,

	D7	G
By the relief	office I seen my	people;

	C	G
As they stood there	hungry, I stood there	asking

	D7	G
Is	this land made for you and	me?

. . . . Refrain . . . .

	C	G
Nobody	living can ever	stop me,

	D7	G
As I go	walking that freedom	highway;

	C	G
Nobody	living can ever make me	turn back,

	D7	G
	This land was made for you and	me.

. . . . Refrain . . . .

cleaned up the lyric using the version from Rise Up Singing. Arlo Guthrie's website has the alternate lyric

"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."

and he leaves out the final lyric posted above.
