This Land Is Our Land Chords by Todd Snider

_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ I'm gonna try to fix an old Woody Guthrie song here for you.
Not that there's anything wrong with Woody Guthrie songs,
except for the one that says,
this land is your land and this land is my land,
and if you ain't an Indian, you're a [D] lion.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] You try to [G] sing that song to just about any minority
in this country [D] and they won't [F] believe you.
[G] _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ Freeway [G] through a reservation,
make way [D] for a brand new nation.
Big ideas, [F] got brand [G] new plans.
Heaven knows we need [D] this land we're gonna build.
[G] Big high and wide city streets through [D] countrysides,
chemicals [F] and pesticides.
[D] [G] This land is our land.
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ [D] Hey red [Dm] man, don't waste our [D] time.
We're young and strong.
We got hills to climb.
There's a lot of room, [Dm] but we need it all [C] for [D] slave trade
and shopping malls we're gonna build.
[Dm] Big factories [C] for paper [G] plates,
[D] plastic trees, styrofoam, [F] and now they [C] freeze.
[G] This land is our land.
[C] _
_ [G] _ _ This [D] land is our [C]
land.
_ _ [G] [D] This land is our [F] land.
_ [C] _ _ [G] [D] This land is our [F] land.
_ [C] _ _ [G] This [D] land is our land.
[F] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] Well, we came out on a raging sea
to claim some place where we'd be free.
We got hopeful [Dm] hearts and working [D] hands.
Heaven knows we need this land
because the world needs [F]
landfill,
[D] diet pills, [G] and [D] paper milk.
We need country clubs, [Dm] man, and oil [G] spills.
This land is our land.
[C] _ [G] _
_ This [D] land is our [F] land.

_ [G] This [D] land is our [F] land.

Big ideas, [Dm] we got brand new [D] plans.
Heaven knows we need this land
for Super [Dm] Bowls and subway [C] rides,
[D] remote [G] controls and [D] pesticide,
[F] gang-related [C] homicides.

_ _ _ _ I guess it [E] doesn't matter what kind of bad karma
this country was [D] founded on anymore.
I mean, we're all here now, right?
_ _ _ And here's the only place you can start over from.
I figure we can do two things.
We can either love each other
or _ we can't love [Dm] each other.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] Some folks were [G] born
made to wave the flag.
_ [D] Oh, [Dm] God, the [G] red, white, and blue
_ _ [D] blaze _ _
[G] _ hail [D] to the chief.
Well, [A] they'll point that cannon right at you.
[E] _ _ [D] _ It ain't me.
[G] It ain't [D] me.
I ain't no senator's son.
_ _ _ It ain't me.
It ain't me.
I [Dm] ain't no fortunate one. _ _ _ _ _
