Irish Lyrics Version Guitar Chords In D
This[D] land is[G] your land,this land is[D] my land,
From the northern[A] highlands,to the western[D] islands,
From the hills of[G] Kerry,to the streets of[D] Derry,
[A]This land was made for you and[D] me,
[2]
As I was walking by the Shannon water,hand in hand there with my little daughter,
Heard the church bell ringing,heard the children singing,
This land was made for you and me,
[3]
So we climbed the mountain by the chrystle fountain,
And we watchen the waves roar by the rocky seashore,
And the sun was shining and she cried oh daddy,
This land was made for you and me.
[4]
So I walked her home then,by the village steaple,
Proud of my country,proud of my people,
Of the men who cried there,amd the men who died there,
Saying this land was made for you and me.
This[D] land is[G] your land,this land is[D] my land,
From the northern[A] highlands,to the western[D] islands,
From the hills of[G] Kerry,to the streets of[D] Derry,
[A]This land was made for you and[D] me,
[2]
As I was walking by the Shannon water,hand in hand there with my little daughter,
Heard the church bell ringing,heard the children singing,
This land was made for you and me,
[3]
So we climbed the mountain by the chrystle fountain,
And we watchen the waves roar by the rocky seashore,
And the sun was shining and she cried oh daddy,
This land was made for you and me.
[4]
So I walked her home then,by the village steaple,
Proud of my country,proud of my people,
Of the men who cried there,amd the men who died there,
Saying this land was made for you and me.
This Land Is You Land In The Key Of G Major
This[G] land is[C] your land,this land is[G] my land,

[D]This land was made for you and[G] me.
Key Of A Major
This[A] land is[D] your land,this land is[A] my land,
From the northern[E] highlands,to the western[A] islands,
From the hills of[D] Kerry,to the streets of[A] Derry,
[E]This land was made for you and[A] me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I've roamed and rambled and I've 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
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
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.
This[G] land is[C] your land,this land is[G] my land,
From the northern[D] highlands,to the western[G] islands,
From the hills of[C] Kerry,to the streets of[G] Derry,
[D]This land was made for you and[G] me.
Key Of A Major
This[A] land is[D] your land,this land is[A] my land,

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

It was back in 1947 when Woodrow Wilson Guthrie (Woody) got a telegram from the U.S. Department of Interior, Bonne- ville Power/Adm., to come out to Oregon from NY to "Sing .. Columbia River Songs... (where)... your songs ... were meant to be sung." He came to me with this telegram for expense money and advances for recording of whatever new songs would come out of this trip. Woody in his own words always said that he was against songs that "... made you feel no good... bound to lose..." pokes fun at you or the world because you were down and out. "I am out to prove to you that this world is about yourself and your work... and the songs I sing are made up by all sorts of folks just like you."
When he got back he recorded these songs. Woody, the ever optimist who knew from his experiences that the only way to success and positive action was militancy, saw the possibility of his creation and philosophy lose its audience and popular appeal disintegrate. Thus he lost all hope of living. Hunting- ton's chorea attacked him and after nine years in hospitals he succumbed and passed away on October 3rd, 1967. Had he had only a little more patience and a little more faith in man, he would have survived and be part of the movements all around us of the fight for the right of man and his expres- sions. Little did Woody dream that a nation with all its bureau- cratic and officious skin would, sooner than expected, honor him both officially-(read the citation above) and by popular ovation. There is no school in America that has not taken "This Land Is Your Land" to its assembly program and thus to its heart.

America Is My Land Lyrics
Verse 1:
From the mountains high, to the ocean shore
There's a place I call home, forevermore
Where the fields are vast, and the skies are blue
Where my dreams can come true, in all that I do
Chorus:
America, America, my land so grand
From sea to shining sea, forever I'll stand
With pride in my heart, for all that we've achieved
In this land of opportunity, America is my land, and I believe
Verse 2:
From the bustling cities, to the small town streets
There's a unity here, that can't be beat
Where the diversity brings us together
As we stand strong, through any weather
Chorus:
America, America, my land so grand
From sea to shining sea, forever I'll stand
With pride in my heart, for all that we've achieved
In this land of opportunity, America is my land, and I believe
Bridge:
We may not be perfect, but we're still strong
And we'll keep fighting, for what we know is right and wrong
For the land of the free, and the home of the brave
America is where, my heart will always stay
Chorus:
America, America, my land so grand
From sea to shining sea, forever I'll stand
With pride in my heart, for all that we've achieved
In this land of opportunity, America is my land, and I believe
Outro:
America is my land, and I'll never forget
The sacrifices made, to make it the best
I'll stand tall and proud, for all to see
That America is my land, and it will always be.
