This Land Is Your Land Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]This is a story about America,
land of [D]the free,
where recently the U .S. Supreme Court
ruled
[A]that it's okay for the government
to seize your land
and then turn [D]around and give
it to a private corporation
so they can make a [G]profit.
The courts used to be the watchdog
for [D]the common man,
but not anymore.
[A]Now, they just go along
with the [D]program.
Today I [G]went to a public [D]hearing
at City [A]Hall,
but there wasn't much [D]seating.
Walmart [G]wants to build a
new shopping [D]center,
an[A]d they want to get
the land for real cheap.
[D]This land was[G] your land,
this land was [D]my land,
[A]until Walmart presented [D]it s plan,
then they condemned [G]it
and gave it to big [D]business.
[A]They like to steal land
from you and me.
[D]As I was wal[G]king down my dri[D]veway,
a car pulled [A]up after getting off the [D]highway.
It was a man [G]from Walmart,
he wanted [D]my place.
[A]They like to steal land
from you and [D]me.
This land was [G]your land,
this land was [D]my land.
[A]Until Walmart presented [D]it s plan
Then they condemned [G]it
and gave it to big [D]business
[A]They like to steal land from you and [D]me
There was a [G]time when the U
.S. Supreme [D]Court
Protected the [A]little guy,
but not [D]anymore
They made a [G]decision on [D]condemnation
And they decided [G]that [A]this land
was made for corporate [D]greed
This land was [G]your land
This land was [D]my land
Until [A]Walmart presented [D]it s plan
Then they [G]condemned it
and gave it to [D]big business
[A]They like to steal land from you and [D]me
[A]Yes, this land was made
for corporate [D]greed
[A]They like to steal land from you and me
