C Em Am G7 C Em An G7

Come and take a walk with me thru this green and growing land
|
C Em Am G7 Gm7 Gm6 Dm

Walk thru the meadows and the mountains and the sand
|
Dm7 Dm6 Dm Dm7 Dm6 Dm

Walk thru the valleys and the rivers and the plains

Walk thru the sun and walk thru the rain

Am Em
|
Here is a land full of power and glory
|
Am G7
|
Beauty that words cannot recall
|
C Em
|
Oh her power shall rest on the strength of her freedom
|
Am G7 | C F C &--final ending
|
Her glory shall rest on us all (on us all)
|
|
From Colorado, Kansas, and the Carolinas too
|
Virginia and Alaska, from the old to the new
|
Texas and Ohio and the California shore
|
Tell me, who could ask for more?
|
|
Yet she's only as rich as the poorest of her poor
|
Only as free as the padlocked prison door
|
Only as strong as our love for this land
|
Only as tall as we stand
|
|
[ extra verse supplied by Sonny Ochs ]
|
|
But our land is still troubled by men who have to hate
|
They twist away our freedom & they twist away our fate
|
Fear is their weapon and treason is their cry
|
We can stop them if we try
|
