This land is yours, this land is mine.
I see the captain in red, and Carol at his head,
This land is yours, this land is mine. _ _ _ _

[C] The [G] lightning over the park, the waters brash and dark,
We take a swim, we take a swim. _
[C] I never meant [G] to kiss the carpet and the train,
This land is yours, this land is mine.
_ And when I make up my mind, I change it all the time,
I take it [C] back, I [G] take it back.
_ The numbers over the dam, Joe Davies and the band,
I [C] count them out, I [G] count them out.
_ _ There was a car [C] in the [D] bay, [Bm] By the boat that swept and [Em] swayed,
Whoever you are [C] in the [D] light, [Bm] In the [D] water that we [C] made,
I'm counting [D] it out, I'm counting [Em] it out,
I'm working [D] it out inside, [C] _ I'm counting [D] it out [C] to the [G] floor. _ _ _ _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ The fairy hatches will lead, [C] You know the [G] beauty queen,
She takes a bow, she takes a bow.
In [C] Charles [G] we climbed a hill, In [F#] [G] Dandenon a sill,
I take [C] it [G] back, I take it back.
My [Am] sister [G] she counts the flowers, The maiden girl, take a look,
She takes a bow, she takes a bow.
_ [C] The [G] Mississippi, the car, the dam,
This land [C] is yours, this [G] land is mine.
My [C] brother [G] put you in my hair, [C] He injured [G] my feet,
I call [C] my dad, I [G] call my dad.
He skipped the sorrow, he [C] made some [G] new people,
This land is yours, this land is mine.
[C] _ _ There [G] was a [C] car [D] in the bay, By the boat that swept [Em] and [G] swayed,
Whoever you are in [D] the light, In the water that [C] we made,
I'm holding [Em] your [C] hand by [D] the shore, [Bm] With our collars pulled [C] up tight,
I'm counting [D] it out, I'm counting [Em] it out,
[G] I'm working [D] it out _ [Am] [Em] inside, I'm counting [D] it [G] out, I'm counting it out,
I'm working it [D] out [C] inside, _ I'm counting [D] it out.

_ _ _ land is [C] not [G] your land,
[Am] [G] This land was made for the blind man,
_ Takes what it [Am] can,
[G] And sacks [Am] [G] what it can't,
_ _ _ _ This _ land [C] is [G] not yours,
_ [C] _
This [G] _ _ _ _ _ land was [C] made [G] for the good of its son, _ _ _
