D A7
2
He walked all over his own growin' land
3
D
4
From the New York island to the California sand
5
G D
6
He saw all the people that needed to be seen
7
A7 G D
8
Planted all the grass where it needed to be green

Em A D
10
And now he's bound for a glory all his own
11
Em A D
12
And now he is bound for glory
13
He wrote and he sang and he rode upon the rails
14
And he got on board when the sailors had to sail
15
He said all the words that needed to be said
16
He fed all the hungry souls that needed to be fed
17
(chorus)
18
He sang in our streets and he sang in our halls
19
And he was always there when the unions gave a call
20
He did all the jobs that needed to be done
21
He always stood his ground when a smaller man would run
22
(chorus)
23
And it's Pastures of Plenty wrote the dustbowl balladeer
24
And This Land is Your Land, he wanted us to hear
25
And the risin' of the unions will be sung about again
26
And the Deportees live on through the power of his pen
27
(chorus)
28
Now they sing out his praises on every distant shore
29
But so few remember what he was fightin' for
30
Oh why sing the songs and forget about the aim?
31
He wrote them for a reason, why not sing them for the same
32
(chorus)
