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.

While all aFround me a voice was Csounding

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.

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

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.

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.

-I hope you enjoy; my little droogies.
