Intro 1
(D major) (B minor) (D major)
(B minor)
Verse 1
We (G major) were born
of the (D major) ocean
Though our blood (B minor) has hardened (D major) since
From the carbon (G major) and the quartz
(D major) we crossed
(A major) As we moved to the east
As (G major) we hit upon the mountains
(D major) We planted (B minor) in this (D major) town
The abundance (G major) of the (D major) earth
was all we'd (A major) need
All (G major) our old songs seemed so foreign
(D major) As we sang them (B minor) in the square
(D major) But (G major) in time more far- flun
(D major) g families joined (A major) our own
Tales (G major) of Natives and the North (D major) men
And the Kansans (B minor) whence they came
(D major) Sang (G major) our quiet little town (D major) into a (A major) home

Verse 2
Singing (G major)
Tie a rib (D major) bon round (A major) the old oak tree
Make (G major) me down a pallet
somewhere (D major) in a (A major) field
Drop (G major) a line into the creek (D major) in moonlit (B minor) darkness,
I (A major) be lieve
We could (G major) be cowboys if our
mother (D major) s would yield (A major) (G major)
That country (D major) road'll take
us where we'd (F sharp minor) like to go (G major)
But this land was made (G minor) to
be (D major) our home
(B minor) (D major)
Verse 3
(B minor)
Now (G major) the snowfall can get (D major) heavy
And the summers hot and dry
But we celeb (G major) rate the hearty (D major)
earth in hand (A major)
Through (G major) the cattle and the vine (D major) yards
Where the hill (B minor) tops meet the (D major) sky
You can hear (G major) us sing their
(D major) praises once (A major) again
Verse 4
Singing (G major)
Tie a ribbon (D major) round (A major) the old oak tree
Make (G major) me down a pallet
(D major) somewhere in a (A major) field
Drop (G major) a line into the creek (D major) in moonlit
dark (B minor) ness I (A major) be lieve
We could (G major) be cowboys if our
mother (D major) s would yield (A major) (G major)
That coun (D major) try road'll take us
where we'd like (F sharp minor) to go (G major)
But this land was made (G minor) to be
(D major) our home
(B minor) (D major) (B minor)
Verse 5
(F sharp minor)
We carve our (G major) names in stone
And we plant (D major) our (A major) roots in bone (G major) (F sharp minor)
When the flames (G major) have gone
We (D major) come (A major) back strong
(G major)
Verse 6
(A major)
Singin (G major)
Tie a rib (D major) bon round (A major) the old oak tree
Make (G major) me down a pallet
somewhere (D major) in a (A major) field
Drop (G major) a line into the creek (D major) in moonlit
dark (B minor) ness I (A major) be lieve
We could (G major) be cowboys,
oh if Mama (D major) would yield (A major) (G major)
That country road'll (D major) take us
where (F sharp minor) we'd like to (G major) go
But this land (A major) was made to be our
(F sharp minor) This land was made (D major) to be (G major) our
This land (A major) was made to be our (D major) home
