[Verse]
Dm Well you look just like General Custer
C On the day of his last stand
Dm Heading up into the black hills
C Glorious and grand
Dm I saw it by your side
C A map in your hand
Dm Heading up into the rain
C Dm (intro) X2 Singing "This land is your land" [Verse]
Dm Now I've seen your dust a-rising
Continues after the ad
C And I've seen your numbers swell
Dm I've seen you crossing the badlands
C And I've heard your captains yell
Dm I've watched you when you're sleeping
C I've seen you filling up your can
Dm Thinking as you work
C Dm (intro X1) That this land is your land [Verse]
Dm But now you're bursting into my country
C You're messing up my fields
Dm You're playing games with my holy places
C You're tearing the earth with your wheels
Dm Right now your star is ascending
C And your head is bursting with pride
Dm But I wonder if Custer was still singing
C Dm "This land is my land" when he died
C Dm Was he still singing "this is my land" when he died
C Dm Was he singing that it's my land when he died
C Dm Was he singing when he died
C Dm Was he singing when he died
C Dm Was he singing it's my land when he died
C Dm When he died...
C Dm Was he singing when he died
