I Hear Them All
[Intro]
C C G G G D Em C
G D G G
C
I hear the crying of the hungry
G
In the deserts where they're wandering
D
Hear them crying out for Heaven's own
G
Be- nevolence upon them
C
I hear de- structure power prevailing
G
I hear fools falsely hailing
D Em
To the crooked wits of tyrants when they call
G D G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
C
I hear the sounds of tearing pages
G
And the roar of burning paper
D
All the crimes in acquisition
G
Turn to air and ash and vapor
C
And the rattle of the shackle
G
Far be- yond emancipators
D Em
And the loneliest who gather in their stalls
G D G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
[Solo]
C C G G D D G Em D
C C G G G D Em C
G D G G
C
So, while you sit and whistle Dixie
G
With your money and your power
D
I can hear the flowers a-growing
G
In the rubble of the towers
C
I hear leaders quit their lyin'
G
I hear babies quit their cryin'
D Em
I hear soldiers quit their dyin', one and all
G D G
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
[Solo]

This Land Is Your Land
C G
As I went a- walking that ribbon of highway
D G
I saw a- bove me that endless skyway
C G
I saw be- low me that golden valley
D G
This land was made for you and me
[Chorus]
C G
This land is your land, this land is my land
D G
From Cali- fornia to the New York island
C G
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
D G
This land was made for you and me
[Solo]
C C G G D D G G
C C G G D D Em D
G D G G
[Chorus]
C G
And this land is your land, this land is my land
D G
From Cali- fornia to the New York island
C G
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
D G
This land was made for you and me
G D Em C
I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all
G D G
Well, I hear them all, I hear them all, I hear them all -----
