[G] _ _ As I was [C] walking by that creepy [G] little house, [C] I [D] saw a girl.

This land [C] is your land.
This [G] land is my land.
From [D] California to New [G] York Island,
from the [C] river forests to the Gulf [G] Stream [Em] waters,
[D] this land was made for you [G] and me.
I walked [C] and rambled in about [G] half those depths
through the [D] sparkling sands of the [G] Urugandan deserts.
And [C] all around me, a voice [G] was sounding,
_ [D] this land was made for you [G] and me.
This land [C] is your land.

_ Since the morning my offspring are showing up here,
just more coming as you can see. _ _
Remind me of that story my [N] dad used to tell _ _
_ about the two rabbits, you know, the mama rabbit,
the papa rabbit was out in the woods one day
[G] munching on things like [A] rabbits like to do
[B] and the wind came up a little bit
and on the wind came the sound [Fm] of dogs off in the distance
and the rabbit stood [B] up and they looked around
[Cm] but they didn't see [N] anything
so they went back to munching on things
but now they were paying attention, now they were nervous.
_ And after a while the wind came up again
and on that gust of wind came the same sound of dogs
but this time they was closer and they looked up on the hill
and sure enough up there on the hill
the rabbits could see a pack of dogs up there running, jumping around
and by some kind of coincidence
as the rabbits were [Eb] standing up looking at the dogs
the dogs looked down and saw the rabbits
and they got [N] happy and their feet started running
tails wagging, faces, you know, smiling, happy, running, barking, yipping [Eb] dogs
and the dogs took off after the
and [D] when the rabbits saw the dogs coming
[Cm] they [F] bolted and [Cm] went this way
and that way around the trees and [F] over the rocks
through the [D] shrub and brush and all that [N] stuff
but no matter where they went and no matter how quick they [Cm] was
the dogs kept [F] getting closer and closer and closer
until finally the dogs was just about on top of them
[C] and in [F] the last moment before the dogs was on them
the [N] rabbits ducked into the hollow of the log
outside the log the dogs were yipping, barking, yelling
because they can't get in
deep inside the log the mama rabbit looked at the papa rabbit
she said, you know, [B] Pop
I don't believe we're going to get out [N] of this one alive
and the papa rabbit just smiled and said, well
that's alright, we'll stay here
until we outnumber them _ _ _
we're [G] doing our part
_ the _ _ _ [C] sun comes shining _
[G] and I hold the instrument
the wheat [D] fields waving
the [G] dust clouds rolling
the fog was [C] lifting
and [Gb] the voice [G] was chanting
_ [D] this land was made [G] for you and _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
