This Land Is Your Land

From redwood forrest to the gulf stream water I said
this land belongs to you and me
As I went roaming that river of highway I saw above me there in the skyway
I saw below me that golden valley I said this land belongs to you and me
This land is your land...
[ banjo ]I roamed and rambled I follow my footsteps
I crossed golden sands of your diamond desert
And all around me a voice kept saying it said this
land was made for you and me
This land is your land...
[ ac.guitar ]As the sun was shining and I was strolling
And the whitfields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As I thought of lifting a voice was saying it said
this land was made for you and me
This land is your land...
This Land Is Your Land
