101. Working Class Hero
John Lennon
| Am | G | Am |
| As | soon as you're born they | make you feel | small |
| Am | G | Am |
| By | giving you no time in | stead of it | all |
| Am | G | Am |
| 'til the | pain is so big you feel | nothing at | all |
| Am | G | Am |
| A | working class hero is | something to | be |
| Am | G | D | Am |
| A | working class | hero is | something to | be |
| They hurt you at home and they hit you at school | |
| They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool | |
| 'til youre so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years | |
| Then they expect you to pick a career | |
| When you cant really function you're so full of fear | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| Keep you doped with religion and sex and tv | |
| and you think you're so clever and classless and free | |
| But youre still fucking peasants as far as I can see | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| There's room at the top they're telling you still | |
| but first you must learn to smile as you kill | |
| If you want to be like the folks on the hill | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| A working class hero is something to be | |
| Am | G | Am |
| If you | want to be a hero well | just follow | me |
| Am | G | D | Am |
| If you | want to be a | hero | just follow | me |
102. Bring On The Lucie (Freda People)
John Lennon/Mind Games (1974)
| E | B | A | B | A | E |
| We don't care what | flag you're | waving | | | |
| We don't even want to know your name | |
| We don't care where you're from or where you're going | |
| All we know is that you came | |
| You're making all our decisions | |
| We just have one request of you | |
| That while you're thinking things over | |
| Here's something you just better do | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| Well we were caught with our hands in the air | |
| Don't despair paranoia is everywhere | |
| We can shake it with our love when we're scared | |
| So let's shout it aloud like a prayer | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| We understand your paranoia | |
| But we don't want to play your game | |
| You think you're cool and know what you're doing | |
| So while you're jerking off each-other | |
| You better bear this thought in mind | |
| Your time is up, you better know it | |
| But maybe you don't read the signs | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| Free the people now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |
| Well you were caught with your hands in the kill | |
| And you still got to swallow your pill | |
| As you slip and slide down the hill | |
| On the blood of the people you killed | |
| Stop the killing now! - Do it do it do it do it now! | |

110. The Killing of Georgie (Part I and II)
Rod_Stewart
| C | Em |
| In these days of changing ways, | so called liberated days |
| F | C |
| A | story comes to mind of a friend of | mine... |
| C | Em |
| Georgie boy was gay I guess, | nothin' more or nothin' less |
| F | C |
| The | kindest guy I ever | knew... |
| C | Em |
| His | mother's tears fell in vain, the | afternoon George tried to explain |
| F | C |
| That he | needed love like all the | rest |
| C | Em |
| Pa | said there must be a mistake, how | can my son not be straight |
| F | C |
| After | all I've said and done for | him? |
| C | Em |
| Do do, da do do, da do do doo, | do do, da do do, da do do doo |
| F | C |
| Do do, da do do, da do do doo, doo | do |
| C | Em |
| Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus, | cast out by the ones he loves |
| F | C |
| A | victim of these gay days it | seems |
| C | Em |
| Georgie went to New York town, | where he quickly settled down |
| F | C |
| And | soon became the toast of the great white | way |
| C | Em |
| Accepted by Manhattan's elite, in | all the places that were chic |
| F | C |
| No | party was complete without | George |
| C | Em |
| Along the boulevards he'd cruise, and | all the old queens blew a fuse |
| F | C |
| Every | body loved Georgie | boy |
| C | Em |
| The last time I saw George alive, | was in the summer of seventy-five |
| F | C |
| He | said he was in love I said I'm | pleased |
| C | Em |
| George attended the opening night, of | another Broadway hype |
| F | C |
| but | split before the final curtain | fell |
| C | Em |
| Deciding to take a short cut home, | arm in arm they meant no wrong |
| F | C |
| A | gentle breeze blew down Fifth Ave | nue |
| C | Em |
| Out of a darkened side street came, a | New Jersey gang with just one aim |
| F | C |
| To | roll some innocent passer- | by |
| C | Em |
| There ensued a fearful fight, | screams rang out in the night |
| F | C |
| Georgie's | head hit a sidewalk corner | stone |
| C | Em |
| A leather kid, a switchblade knife, he | did not intend to take his life |
| F | C |
| He | just pushed his luck a little too far that | night |
| C | Em |
| The sight of blood dispersed the gang, a | crowd gathered, the police came |
| F | C |
| An | ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and | Third |
| C | Em |
| Georgie's life ended there, | but I ask who really cares? |
| F | C |
| George once said to me and I | quote |
| C | Em |
| He said "Never wait or hesitate, | Get in kid, before it's too late |
| F | C |
| You may never get another | chance |
| C | Em |
| ' | Cos youth's a mask but it don't last, | live it long and live it fast" |
| F | C |
| Georgie was a friend of | mine |
| Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away | |
| Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie please stay you take our breath away | |
| Oh Georgie stay, don't go away Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away | |

| Where have all the flowers gone, | Long time a | go? |

112. Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind
deutsche Version / Marlene Dietrich
| Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Wo sind sie geblieben? | |
| Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Was ist gescheh'n? | |
| Sag mir, wo die Blumen sind, Mädchen pflückten sie geschwind. | |
| Wann wird man je versteh'n, Wann wird man je versteh'n? | |
| Sag mir, wo die Mädchen sind...Männer nahmen sie geschwind. Wann... | |
| Sag mir, wo die Männer sind...zogen fort, der Krieg beginnt. Wann... | |
| Sag, wo die Soldaten sind...über Gräbern weht der Wind. Wann... | |
| Sag mir, wo die Gräber sind...Blumen weh'n im Sommerwind. Wann... | |

114. Turn, Turn, Turn
Pete Seeger
| A | D | A | E | A | D | A | E |
| To every | thing, | turn, | turn, | turn, There is a | season, | turn, | turn, | turn, |

| A | E |
| To everything, turn, turn, turn, There is a season, turn, | turn, | turn, |
| D | E7 | A |
| And a | time for every pur | pose under | heaven. |
| A time to build up, a time to break down; A time to dance an time to mourn; | |
| A time to cast away stones, A time to gather stones together. | |
| A time of love, a time of hate; A time of war, a time of peace; | |
| A time you may embrace, A time to refrain from embracing. | |
| A time to gain, a time to lose; A time to rend a time to sew; | |
| A time to love, a time to hate; A time for peace, I swear it's not too late. | |

120. Lady in Black
Hensley / Uriah Heep: Salisbury (1971)
| Am |
| She | came to me one morning, one lonely sunday morning, |
| G | Am |
| Her | long hair flowing in the | mid-winter wind. |
| Am |
| I | know not how she found me, for in darkness I was walking, |
| G | Am |
| And | destruction lay around me from a | fight I could not win. |
| Am | G | Am | G | Am |
| Ahahaaa | Haahah, | Ahahaaa | Haha | Ha! |
| She asked me: "Name my foe then". I said: "The need within some men | |
| To fight and kill their brothers without thought of love or God". | |
| And I begged her give me horses to trample down my enemies, | |
| So eager was my passion to devour this waste of life. | |
| Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
| But she would not think of battle that reduces men to animals, | |
| So easy to begin and yet impossible to end. | |
| For she the mother of all men had counciled me so wisely that | |
| I feared to walk alone again and asked if she would stay. | |
| Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
| "Oh lady lend your hand," I cried, "Oh let me rest here at your side." | |
| "Have faith and trust in me," she said and filled my heart with life. | |
| There is no strength in numbers. I've no such misconception. | |
| But when you need me be assured I won't be far away. | |
| Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
| Thus having spoke she turned away and though I found no words to say | |
| I stood and watched until I saw her black cloak disappear. | |
| My labor is no easier, but now I know I'm not alone. | |
| I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day. | |
| And if one day she comes to you drink deeply from her words so wise. | |
| Take courage from her as your prize and say hello for me. | |
| Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha! | |
| Ahahaaa Haahah, Ahahaaa Haha Ha... | |

123. Horse With No Name
America
| Em | D6add9 |
| On the first part of the | journey |
| I was lookin at all the life | |
| There were plants and birds and rocks and things | |
| There were sand and hills and rings | |
| The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz | |
| and the sky with no clouds | |
| the heat was hot and the ground was dry | |
| but the air was full of sound | |
| Em9 | Dmaj9 |
| I've been through the desert on a | horse with no name |
| it felt good to be out of the rain | |
| in the desert you can remember your name | |
| 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain | |
| la la la la lalala la la la la la | |
| After two days in the desert sun | |
| my skin began to turn red | |
| After three days in the desert fun | |
| I was looking at a river bed | |
| And the story it told of a river that flowed | |
| made me sad to think it was dead | |
| I've been through the desert ... | |
| After nine days I let the horse run free | |
| 'cause the desert had turned to sea | |
| there were plants and birds and rocks and things | |
| there were sand and hills and rings | |
| The ocean is a desert with it's life underground | |
| and the perfect disguise above | |
| Under the cities lies a heart made of ground | |
| but the humans will give no love | |
| I've been through the desert ... | |

135. Hotel California
Felder, Henley & Frey / the Eagles
| Bm | F# |
| On a dark desert highway, | cool wind in my hair; |
| A | E |
| Warm smell of colitas, | rising through the air. |
| G | D |
| Up ahead in the distance, | I saw a shimering light. |
| Em | F# |
| My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, | I had to stop for the night. |
| Bm | F# |
| There she stood in the doorway; | I heard the mission bell, |
| A | E |
| And I was thinking to myself: this could be | heaven or this could be hell! |
| G | D |
| Then she lit up a candle | and she showed me the way; |
| Em | F# |
| There were voices down the corridor; | I thought I heard them say: |
| G | D |
| " | Welcome to the Hotel Califor | nia! |
| F# | Bm |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a | lovely face. |
| G | D |
| Plenty of room at the Hotel Califor | nia! |
| Em | F# |
| Any | time of year (any time of year), you can | find it here." |
| Her mind is Tiffany twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz. | |
| She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends. | |
| How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat | |
| Some dance to remember, some dance to forget! | |
| So I called up the captain, "Please bring me my wine." He said: | |
| "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine." | |
| And still those voices are calling from far away, | |
| Wake you up in the middle of the night, just to hear them say: | |
| "Welcome to the Hotel California! | |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. | |
| They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; | |
| What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" | |
| Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice, and she said: | |
| "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device." | |
| And in the master's chambers, they gathered for the feast. | |
| They stab it with their steely knives - but they just can't kill the beast! | |
| Last thing I remember, I was running for the door. | |
| I had to find the passage back to the place I was before. | |
| "Relax," said the night man, "We are programmed to receive. | |
| You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!" | |
| "Welcome to the Hotel California! | |
| Such a lovely place (such a lovely place), such a lovely face. | |
| They're livin' it up at the Hotel California; | |
| What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise), bring your alibis-" | |

141. Alice's Restaurant
Arlo Guthrie
| This song is called Alice's Restaurant. | |
| It's about Alice, and the restaurant, but Alice's Restaurant | |
| is not the name of the restaurant, that's just the name of the song. | |
| That's why I called the song Alice's Restaurant. | |
| C | A7 | D7 | G7 | C | G | Am7 | G | C | A7 | D7 | G7 | C | C7 | F | F#dim7 |
| - | - | | | | - | - | | - | - | - | - ´ | - | - | - | |
| You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant | |
| You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant | |
| Walk right in it's around the back | |
| Just a half a mile from the railroad track | |
| You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant | |
| Now it all started two Thanksgivings ago - that's two years ago | |
| on Thanksgiving when my friend and I went up to visit Alice | |
| at the restaurant but Alice doesn't live in the restaurant, she lives | |
| in the church nearby the restaurant, in the bell-tower, with her husband Ray | |
| and Fasha the dog. And livin' in the bell tower since they took out | |
| all the pews, they got a lot 'a room downstairs where the pews used to be in | |
| and havin all that room, seen as they took out all the pews, they decided | |
| that they didn't have to take out their garbage for a long time. | |
| We got up there, found all the garbage, and we figured it'd be a friendly | |
| gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump. | |
| So we took the half a ton of garbage and put it in the back of | |
| a red VW microbus, took shovel's and rakes and implements of | |
| destruction and headed on toward the city dump. Well we got there and | |
| there was a big sign and a chain across saying closed on Thanksgiving. | |
| We'd never heard of a dump closed on thanksgiving before, and with | |
| tears in our eyes we drove off into the sunset looking for another | |
| place to put the garbage. | |
| We didn't find one. Until we came to a side road, and off the | |
| side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the | |
| bottom of the cliff there was another pile of garbage. And we decided | |
| one big pile is better than two little piles, and rather than bring | |
| that one up we decided to throw our's down. | |
| That's what we did, and drove back to the church, had a | |
| thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, went to sleep and didn't | |
| get up until the next morning, when we got a phone call from officer | |
| Obie. Said "Kid, we found your name on an envelope at the bottom of a | |
| half a ton of garbage, and just wanted to know if you had any | |
| information bout it". I said "Yes Sir Officer Obie, I cannot tell a | |
| lie, I put that envelope under that garbage." | |
| After speaking to Obie for about fourty-five minutes on the telephone | |
| we finally came to the truth of the matter and said that we had to go down | |
| and pick up the garbage, and also had to go down and speak to him | |
| at the police officer's station, so we got in the red VW microbus | |
| with the shovels and rakes and implements of destruction and | |
| headed on to the police officer's station. | |
| Now friends,there was only one or two things Obie could a done | |
| at the police station and the first was he could have given us a medal | |
| for being so brave and honest on the telephone, which wasn't very | |
| likely,and we didn't expect it , and the other thing was he could have | |
| bawled us out and told us never to be see driving garbage about the | |
| vicinity again, which is what we expected, but when we got to the | |
| police officer's station there was a third possibility that we hadn't | |
| counted upon, and we was both imediately arrested, handcuffed, and I | |
| said "Obie, I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on." | |
| He said "Shutup kid. Get in the back of the patrol car". | |
| And that's what we did, sat in the back of the patrol car and | |
| drove to the - quote - Scene of the crime - unquote. I won't tell you about | |
| the town of Stockbridge Massachusets where this is all happened here, | |
| they got three stop signs, two police officers, and one police car, but | |
| when we got to the 'Scene of the crime' there was five police officers | |
| and three police cars, being the biggest crime of the last fifty | |
| years, and everybody wanted to get in the newspaper story about it. | |
| And they was using up all kinds of cop equipment they had hanging | |
| around the police officer's station. They was taking plastic tyre | |
| track, foot prints, dog smelling prints, and they took twenty seven | |
| eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a | |
| paragraph on the back of each one explaining what each one was to be | |
| used in evidence against us. They took picture's of the approach, | |
| the getaway, the northwest corner the southwest corner and that's not | |
| to mention the aerial photography. | |
| After the ordeal, we went back to the jail, Obie said he was going to | |
| put us in the cell said "Kid,I'm going to put you in the cell, I want | |
| your wallet and your belt." I said "Obie, I can understand you | |
| wanting my wallet so I don't have any money to spend in the cell, but | |
| why do you want my belt?" and he said "Kid,we don't want any | |
| hangings!" I said "Obie, did you think I was going to hang myself for | |
| littering?" Obie said he was making sure, and friends Obie was, cause | |
| he took out the toilet seat so I couldn't hit myself over the head and | |
| drown, and he took out the toilet paper so I couldn't bend the bars, | |
| throw out the roll of toilet paper out the window, slide down the roll | |
| and have an escape. Obie was making sure, and it was about four or five | |
| hours later that Alice, (remember Alice? This is a song about Alice), | |
| Alice came by and with a few nasty words to Obie on the said, bailed | |
| us out of jail, and we went back to the church, had a another | |
| thanksgiving dinner that couldn't be beat, and didn't get up until the | |
| next morning, when we all had to go to court. | |
| We walked in, sat down, Obie came in with the twenty-seven eight-by-ten | |
| colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the | |
| back of each one, sat down. Man came in, said: All rise. We stood up, | |
| and Obie stood up with the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy pictures | |
| and the judge walked in sat down with the seeing eye dog, and he sat down, | |
| we sat down. Obie looked at the seeing eye dog, and then at the twenty-seven | |
| eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph | |
| on the back of each one, and looked at the seeing eye dog.And then at | |
| twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy photographs with circles and | |
| arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one and began to cry, cause | |
| Obie had cometo the realisation that this was a typical case of American | |
| blind justice,and there wasn't nothing he could do about it, and the judge | |
| wasn't going to look at the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour glossy | |
| photographs with the circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of | |
| each one explaining what each one was to be used in evidence against us. | |
| And we was fined fivty dollars and had to pick up the garbage in the snow, | |
| but thats not what I came to tell you about. | |
| We got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall street, | |
| where you get injected, inspected, detected infected negleced and selected. | |
| I went down and got my physical examination one day, and I walked in, | |
| sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my | |
| best when I went in that morning. 'Cause I wanted to look like the all | |
| American kid from New York City, mean I had to feel like the, I wanted to | |
| BE the all American kid from New York, and I walked in and I was | |
| hungdown, brungdown, hungup, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. | |
| And I walked in and sat down and they gave me a pice of paper said | |
| "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room sixhundred-four." | |
| I went up there said "Shrink, I want to kill, I wanna I wanna kill. KILL. | |
| I wanna, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. | |
| Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL." and I started | |
| jumpin' up and down yelling "KILL, KILL," and he started jumpin' up | |
| and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling "KILL, | |
| KILL". And the seargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the | |
| hall, said "you're our boy". | |
| Proceded on down the hall gettin all sorts of injections, inspections, | |
| detections, neglections and all kinds of stuff that they was doin' to | |
| me at the thing there, and I was there two hours, three hours, four | |
| hours! I was there for a long time going through all kind's of mean | |
| nasty ugly things and I was just having a tough time there and they | |
| was inspecting injecting every single part of me, and they was leaving | |
| no part untouched. Proceeded through. And when I finally came to the | |
| see the last man, I walked in, walked in sat down after a whole big | |
| thing there, I walked up and said "what do you want?" - "Kid, we only | |
| got one question. Have you ever been arrested?" | |
| And I proceeded to tell him the story of Alice's Restaurant Massacree, | |
| with full orchestration and five part harmony and stuff like that and | |
| suddenly he stopped me right there and said "Kid,did you ever go to court?" | |
| I proceeded to tell him the story of the twenty-seven eight-by-ten colour | |
| glossy pictures with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back | |
| of each one, and he stoped me right there and said "Kid, I want you to go | |
| and sit down on that bench that says 'Group W' - - NOW kid!" | |
| And I walked over to the bench there, and there's Group W, which is | |
| where they put you if you may not be moral enough to join the army | |
| after committing your special crime, and there was all kinds of mean | |
| nasty ugly looking people on the bench there. Mother rapers. Father | |
| stabbers. Father rapers! Father rapers sitting right there on the | |
| bench next to me! And they was mean and nasty and ugly and horrible | |
| crime-type guys sitting bench next to me. And the meanest nastyest | |
| uglyest one, the meanest father raper of them all, was coming over to | |
| me and he was mean 'n' nasty 'n' ugly 'n' horrible and all kind of | |
| things and he sat down next to me and said "Kid, what ya get?". I | |
| said "I didn't get nothing, I had to pay fivty dollars and pick up the | |
| garbage.". He said "What were you arrested for?" and I said "Littering". | |
| And they all moved away from me on the bench there,and a hairy eyeball | |
| and all kinds of mean nasty things, till I said "And creating a | |
| nuisance." They all came back, shook my hand, and we had a great time | |
| on the bench, talkin about crime, mother stabbing, father raping all | |
| kinds of groovy things that we was talking about on the bench. And | |
| everything was fine, we was smoking cigarettes and all kinds of things, | |
| until the seargent came over, had some paper in his hand said. | |
| "Kids,this-piece-of-paper's-got-47-words-37-sentences-58-lines | |
| we-wanna-know-details-of-the-crime-time-of-the-crime-all-the-things | |
| you-gotta-say-things-about-the-crime-arresting-officer's-name-all-the | |
| things-you-gotta-say", and talked for fourty-five minutes and nobody | |
| understood a word that he said, but we had fun filling out the form | |
| and playing with the pencils on the bench there, and I filled out the | |
| massacre with the four part harmony, wrote it down there, just like it | |
| was, and I put down the pencil,and turned over the piece of paper, and | |
| there there on the other side. In the middle of the other side. | |
| Away from everything else on the other side. In parentheses. | |
| Capital letters. Quotated. Read the following words: | |
| I went over to the the seargent, said "Seargent, you got a lot a damn' | |
| gall to ask me if I've rehabilitated myself, I mean, I mean I'm just | |
| sittin' here, sittin' on the Group W bench cause you want to know | |
| if I'm moral enough join the army to burn women, kids, houses, and | |
| villages after bein' a litterbug." He looked at me said "Kid,we don't | |
| like your kind, and we're gonna send your fingerprints off to | |
| And friends, somewhere in Washington enshrined in some little | |
| folder, is a study in black and white of my fingerprints. And the | |
| only reason I'm singing you this song now is cause you may know | |
| somebody in a similar situation, or you may be in a similar | |
| situation,and if your in a situation like that there's only one thing | |
| you can do and that's: walk into the shrink whereever you are, just | |
| walk in, say "Shrink, You can get anything you want, at Alice's | |
| restaurant." And walk out. You know,if one person, just one person | |
| does it they may think he's really sick and won't take him. And if | |
| two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both | |
| faggots and they won't take either of them. And if three people, three, | |
| can you imagine, three people walking in, singin' a bar of Alice's | |
| Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And | |

142. This Land is Your Land
Woody Guthrie
| D | G | D |
| This land is | your land, this land is | my land, |
| A7 | D |
| From Calif | ornia to the New York | Island, |
| G | D |
| From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream wa | ters; |
| A7 | D |
| This land was made for you and | me. |
| As I was walking that ribbon of highway, | |
| I looked above me, there in the skyway, | |
| I saw below me, the Golden Valley; | |
| This land was made for you and me. | |
| This land is your land, this land is my land, | |
| From California to the New York Island, | |
| G |
| From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
| This land was made for you and me. | |
| I roamed and rambled, and followed my footsteps | |
| Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts, | |
| And all around me this voice kept saying: | |
| "This land was made for you and me". | |
| This land is your land, this land is my land, | |
| From California to the New York Island, | |
| G |
| From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
| This land was made for you and me. | |
| As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling | |
| Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, | |
| I could feel inside me and see all around me, | |
| This land was made for you and me. | |
| This land is your land, this land is my land, | |
| From California to the New York Island, | |
| G |
| From the Redwood F | orests to the Gulf Stream waters; |
| This land was made for you and me. | |

| An | old cowboy went ridin' out one | dark and windy day. |
| Am | C |
| U | pon a ridge he rested as he | went along his way. |
| Am |
| When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw: |
| F | Am |
| Plowin' through the ragged skies, and | up a cloudy draw. |
| Am | C |
| Their brands were still on fire and their | hoofs were made of steel. |
| Am | C |
| Their | horns were black and shiny and their hot | breath he could feel. |
| Am |
| A | bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky; |
| F |
| For he | saw the riders comin' hard, and he heard their mournful cry: |
| Am | C | Am | C | F | Am |
| Yippie-I- | ay, | yippie-I- | oh -- The | ghost riders in the | sky! |
| Am | C |
| Their | faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their | shirts all soaked with sweat. |
| Am | C |
| He's | ridin' hard to catch that herd, but he | ain't caught 'em yet'. |
| Am |
| 'Cause they | got to ride forever on that range up in the sky, |
| F | Am |
| On | horses snorting fire as they | ride on hear their cry! |
| Am | C |
| As the | riders loped on by him he | heard one call his name: |
| Am | C |
| "If you | wanna to save your soul from hell a- | ridin' on our range, |
| Am |
| Then | cowboy change your ways today, or with us you will ride, |
| F | Am |
| Tryin' to | catch the devil's herd a | cross these endless skies!" |
