This Land Is Our Land Todd Snider

 
 |---Dmaj position----|-----Cmaj position-----|Dmaj==>and repeat

[Dmaj]Freeway through a reservation,

[Cmaj]Make way for a [Gmaj]brand new nation,

[Dmaj]Big ideas, we got brand new plans,

[Cmaj]Heaven knows we [Gmaj]need this land,

[Dmaj]We're gonna build big, high and wide

[Cmaj]City streets through [Gmaj]countrysides,

[Dmaj]Chemicals, and pesticides.

[Cmaj]This land is our [Gmaj]land.[C] [C] [C] [G]

Hey, redman don't waste our time,

We're young and strong, we got hills to climb,

There's a lot of room but we need it all

For slave trade and shopping malls,

Gonna build big factories with paper plates and plastic trees

Styrofoam and antifreeze.

This land is our land.

Chorus:

[G]This land is [D]our land, [F] [C] [G]

This land is our land,

This land is our land.

Well we came out of a ragin' sea,

To claim someplace whre we'd be free,

We got hopeful hearts, workin hands and

Heaven knows we need this land

Cause the world needs land fills, diet pills and papermills

We need country clubs and oil spills.

This land is our land.

Chorus:

This land is our land,

This land is our land.

Freeway through a reservation,

Make way for a brand new nation,

Big ideas, we got brand new plans,

Heaven knows we need this land for super bowls,

Subway rides, remote controls, and pesticides.

Gang related homicides.

This land is our land.

This land is our land,

Our land

This land is our land,

This land is our land.

 #Opening acoustic guitar riff: ho=hammer-on; po=Pull-off; string is given as
 #letter (i.e. E, A, D, etc.); number is the fret. Let's see if I can do this.

 #What you're realy doing is :
 #Hammering on a Dmaj position, changing to a Cmaj position, and doing the
 #pulloffs from those positions. The third note from the end, I'm showing
 #as a hammer-on-pull-off is just and open D string note with a quick finger
 #down and up on the 2nd fret, and immediate return to Dmaj (open G string
 #is the first note in the chord).
 #
 #When performing this tune on an acoustic guitar, you use the Dmaj position
 #part of the above riff, and then pick the top three strings (A,D,G), hammer-
 #on the 2nd fret D string of the Cmaj, then go to Gmaj and do the same hammer-
 #on on the 2nd fret A string of the Gmaj, as you sing the verse lines.
