So I recently found out that I'm now related to Woody Guthrie by my mom marrying my now step-dad. Which, of course, is pretty feakin' cool. So my step-dad lent some of Woody's records and this song came up. And at first, I was thinking back to how in every elementry school I was in they always made us sing this. But after the 3rd verse of the song, I started hearing verses that I never heard before. And it was those last 3 verses that I started to feel moved and I realized how much of a political song this was. And as a punk rocker, I just had to tab it. So here it is. And when you have made your final judgement on the song, please rate and/or leave a comment. I don't want to feel like I did this for nothing. Standard Tuning Chorus:
This land is Fyour land, this land is Cmy land From CaliGfornia to the New York CIsland From the Redwood FForest to the Gulf Stream Cwaters GThis land was made for you and Cme.
Verse 1:
As I went Fwalking that ribbon of Chighway I saw aGbove me that endless Cskyway I saw beFlow me that golden Cvalley GThis land was made for you and Cme.
Repeat Chorus Verse 2:
I roamed and I Frambled and I followed my Cfootsteps To the sparkling Gsands of her diamond Cdeserts While all aFround me a voice was Csounding GThis land was made for you and Cme.
Repeat Chorus Verse 3:
When the sun came Fshining, and I was Cstrolling And the wheat fields Gwaving and the dust clouds Crolling A voice was Fchanting, As the fog was Clifting, GThis land was made for you and Cme.
Repeat Chorus Verse 4:
As I went Fwalking I saw a sign Cthere And on the sign it Gsaid "NoC Trespassing." But on the Fother side it didn't say Cnothing, GThat side was made for you and Cme.
Repeat Chorus Verse 5:
In the squares of the Fcity, In the shadow of a Csteeple; By the relief Goffice, I'd seen my Cpeople. As they stood there Fhungry, I stood there Casking, GIs this land made for you and Cme?
Repeat Chorus Verse 6:
Nobody Fliving can ever stop Cme, As I go Gwalking that freedom Chighway; Nobody Fliving can Cmake me turn back GThis land was made for you and Cme.
Repeat Chorus 2x And that should be that for This Land Is My Land by Woody Guthrie. A song that is still true today as it was over 50 years ago. So when you've made your final judgemnet on the song, please rate and/or leave a comment. Also, be sure to check out my other tabs as well. -I hope you enjoy; my little droogies.
