[G] I'd like to do a song for you that I guess is about the greatest [C] song ever written about [G] America.
It's by Woody [D] Guthrie.
[G]
And what's so great about it is it gets right to the heart of the promise of what our country [C] was supposed to be about.
And I guess I don't know if you talk to
[G] some of the unemployed steel [D] workers from East LA or [G] Pittsburgh or [C] Gary.
There are [G] a lot of people out there whose jobs are [D] disappearing.
I don't [G] know if they feel that [C] this song is true anymore.
And I'm not sure that it is, [G] but I know that it ought to [D] be.
So I'd like to do this for [G] you, reminding you that with countries, just like with people, [C] it's easy to let the [G] best of yourself slip away.

[C] A [G] golden veil.
[D] How this land was made for you and [G] me.
[D] I [C] roamed and I rambled.
And I followed [G] my footsteps through the sparkling [D] sands of the diamond [G] deserts.
And all [C] around me a voice [G] was sounding.
It [D] cried, this land was made for you and [G] me.
Well, the sun came [C] shining as I [G] went strolling through wheat [D] fields waving.
And the dust clouds [G] were rolling and the bells were [C] ringing as the [G] fog was lifting.
And I [D] seen this land was made for you and [G] me.
One Sunday [C] morning in the [G] shadow of the steeple by the relief [D] office.
I saw [G] the people and they were [C] hungry.
And they were [G] wondering [D] if this land was made for you and [G] me.
This land is [C] your land.
This [G] land is my land.
From [D] California to New [G] York Island.
From the redwood [C] forests to the [G] Gulf Stream waters.
[E] [Em]
[D] Yeah, this land was made [Em] for you [G] and me.
