capo 3==Verse[Db]Take a trip with me in [Cb]1913 [Db]To [A#]Calumet, Michigan, in the [Cb]copper [Db]country.I'll take you to a place called [A#]EYE talian [Db]HallWhere the [Db]miners[Db]are having their [Cb]big Christmas [Db]ball. [A#] [Db]Verse[Db]I'll take you indoor, a [Cb]nd [Db]up a high stair.Th [A#]ere's singin' and dancin', [Cb]it's he [Db]ard everywhere, I'll let you shake hands with the [A#]people you [Db]seeAnd watch… [Db][Db]the kids dance [Cb]round the big Christmas [Db]tree.Verse[Db]There's singin' and [Cb]dancin' [Db]and songs in the air, [A#]An' the spirit of Christmas [Cb]is there [Db]everywhere, Before you know, you're friends [A#]with us [Db]allAnd you're [Db]dancin'[Db]around and around [Cb]in the [Db]hall.Verse[Db]You ask about work and you ask [Cb]about [Db]pay; [A#]They'll tell you they make less than a [Cb]dollar a [Db]day, Just workin' the copper claims, [A#]riskin' their [Db]lives, So it's [Db]fun[Db]to spend Christmas with ch [Cb]ildren and wiv [Db]es.Verse[Db]A little girl sits by the Christmas [Cb]tree [Db]lightsTo [A#]play piano, she gotta keep [Cb]quiet. [Db]To hear all this fun you would [A#]not [Db]realizeThat the [Db]copper[Db]-boss thug-men are [Cb]millin' [Db]outside.Verse[Db]The copper-thugs stuck their heads through [Cb]the [Db]door [A#]One of them yelled and he screamed, [Cb]"There's a [Db]fire!"A lady, she hollered, "There's [A#]no such a [Db]thing!Keep [Db]on[Db]with your party, [Cb]there's no such [Db]thing."Verse[Db]A few people rushed, and it's only [Cb]a [Db]few. [A#]"It's just the scabs and the [Cb]thugs foolin' [Db]you."A man grabbed his daughter and he [A#]carried her [Db]down, But the [Db]thugs[Db]held the door and he [Cb]could not get [Db]out.Verse[Db]And then others followed, a hundred [Cb]or [Db]more, Bu [A#]t most everybody remained on [Cb]the [Db]floor.The scabs and the thugs they still [A#]laughed at their [Db]joke, And the [Db]children[Db]were smothered on the [Cb]stairs by the [Db]door.Verse[Db]Such a terrible sight I never [Cb]did [Db]see, [A#]We carried our children back up to [Cb]their [Db]tree.The scabs and the thugs they still [A#]laughed at their [Db]spree, And the [Db]children[Db]that died there were [Cb]seventy- [Db]three.Verse[Db]The piano played a slow [Cb]funeral [Db]tune, [A#]But the town was lit up by a [Cb]cold Christmas [Db]moon, The parents they weep and the [A#]miners they [Db]moan, "See [Db][Db]what your greed [Cb]for money has [Db]done."Outro[Db] [Cb] [Db] [A#] [Cb] ⠀⠀

This Land Is Our Land
Tone [Cb]===This land is [Db]your land, this land is [Cb]my landFrom Cali[Bbm]fornia to the New York [Cb]island,From the redwood [Db]forest to the Gulf [Cb]Stream waters;[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.As I was [Db]walking that ribbon of [Cb]highwayI saw a[Bbm]bove me that endless [Cb]skyway;I saw be[Db]low me that golden [Cb]valley;[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.I've [Db]roamed and rambled and I followed my [Cb]footstepsTo the sparkling [Bbm]sands of her diamond [Cb]deserts;And all a[Db]round me a voice was [Cb]sounding;[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.Was a high [Db]wall there that tried to [Cb]stop meA sign was [Bbm]painted said: Private [Cb]Property,But on the [Db]back side it didn't say [Cb]nothing[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.When the sun came [Db]shining, and I was [Cb]strolling,And the wheat fields [Bbm]waving and the dust clouds [Cb]rolling,As the fog was [Bbm]lifting a voice was [Cb]chanting:[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.This land is [Db]your land, this land is [Cb]my landFrom Cali[Bbm]fornia to the New York [Cb]island,From the redwood [Db]forest to the Gulf [Cb]Stream waters;[Bbm]This land was made for you and [Cb]me.⠀⠀
