[D]The sun on the rim of the v[F#m]iew overlooking
[Am]All that I [D]love, [Am]lights up[D] every le[Bm]af and blade,
[C]Birds circling [D]high a[Bm]bove
With [A]trembling [G]hand I [A]reach down and [G]say "This [Gm]is my [D]land"
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/r/roy_orbison/this_is_my_land_crd.html )
This land will pass on to my child, when he's grown
To love it as much as I,
For all the sons gone by
And when he's a man, he'll do what he can for this is my land
[Em]This [Gm]is my [D]land
[G]When young men die in [D]glory an[C]d for freedom take t[Bm]heir stand
May they [A]sing this [G]same proud [D]story, [Em]this [Gm]is my [D]land
Life fade away, and my body is laid
To rest on the ground may this comfort fill my soul
More on the land, I know
That those after me say with much dignity "This is my land,
This is my land"
