[Chorus]
                     F             
I’m singin’ from the North side to 
    C
the South side
            G                 
We could be stronger than ever 
   C

                     F           
I’m singin’ from the East side to 
     C
the West side
         G                    C
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

                    F              
Keep a-walkin’ on a good path 
      C
‘round the big world
              G                Am
Come back and tell me what you found
                       F           
We can fight or we can wrestle with
     C
 the details
          G                  C
But we’re standin’ on common ground


[Verse 1]
Am                           F
  If this land is your land,   if 
this land is mine
C                                 
  Then let’s not leave it dirty 
      G
for the ones that come behind
     Am                        F
It’s ours to care for and it’s   
ours to share
      D7                           
We’ve all gotta drink the water and
       F                     G
 we’ve all gotta breathe the air


[Chorus]
                     F             
I’m singin’ from the North side to 
    C
the South side
            G                 
We could be stronger than ever 
   C
before
                     F           
I’m singin’ from the East side to 
     C
the West side
         G                    C
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path

[Verse 2]
Am                        
  We don’t have to agree on 
       F
everything and that’s ok
C                                  
  But let’s agree on something and 
G
make a better day
        Am                         
I’m not sayin that we’re better, 
  F
not lookin' for a boast or a brag
        D7                         
But I’d   like to feel proud when I
 F               G
 look up at that flag


[Chorus]
                     F             
I’m singin’ from the North side to

F            C           G      
  My country tis of thee   sweet

 land of liberty
F              C        G  
  Close minded bigotry,   open

D7                       F       
  Let freedom ring, come on, let
