[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 1]
As I went Gwalking that ribbon of hDighway
I saw abAove me that endless sDkyway
I saw belGow me that golden DvallBmey
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 2]
I've roamed and Grambled, and I've followed my fDootsteps
To the sparkling sAands of her diamond Ddeserts
All aroGund me a voice was DsoundBming
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 3]
When the sun comes sGhining as I was sDtrolling
And the wheat fields Awaving and the dust clouds rDolling
The fog was lGifting a voice came chDantiBmng
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 4]
As I was Gwalkin' - I saw a sDign there
And that sign sAaid "No trespDassin'"
But on the oGther side .... it didn't say DnothBmin!
Now thAat side was made for you and Dme!
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 5]
In the squares of the Gcity - In the shadow of the sDteeple
Near the relief oAffice - I see my pDeople
And some are gGrumblin' and some are wDondeBmrin'
If tAhis land's still made for you and Dme
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Verse 6]
Nobody lGiving can ever sDtop me
As I go wAalking that freedom hDighway;
Nobody lGiving can ever mDake me turn bBmack
AThis land was made for you and Dme
[Chorus]
This land is yGour land, and this land is Dmy land
From the CalifAornia, to the New York DIsland
From the Redwood FGorest, to the Gulf Stream DwatBmers
AThis land was made for you and Dme

The story behind the song

"This Land Is Your Land" was written by Woody Guthrie in 1940 as a critical response to "God Bless America." Tired of hearing that song, Guthrie initially called his own tune "God Blessed America for Me," using a melody based on a Carter Family tune. The song reflects Guthrie's focus on themes of American socialism and anti-fascism, aiming to present a vision of America that belongs to everyone. It plays like an anthem of shared ownership and collective spirit.
