Out in California there's an old pine tree

They call Methuselah down in Inyo county
G                         C                G
It's been standing longer than the dawn of man

There's glaciers that have cut a big ol' slice of paradise

But this world's heating faster than a frying pan

To the wide open plain Yellowstone buffalo

All across this land there's vast wilderness
     G                   D
A destiny that's not yet been manifest
G                         C                  G
There's still a sanctuary untouched by human hands

So folks you better see it while you can

Bridge:
     G                  C               G
When short sighted men, in all of their greed
          C              G
They take more than they need
     C              G
They auction off the holler
C              G
Just to make a dollar
C              G
Every single acre
          C              G
Of our lovely mother nature
     C              G
They clearcut the forest
        C              G
Lie and say that its good for us
         C              G
They'll mine and they'll drill
          C              G
And they never get their fill
          C              G
And leave nothing for our kids
        C                  G
Sell it off to the highest bids
          C              G
Yes, this great complexity
        C              G
May be marred eternally
        C              G
By the rich and the few
            C              G
Who want to steal it from me and you

Verse 3:
     G                C         G
Mr Roosevelt, you was right all along
   G                             D
If we ain't careful now, soon it will all be gone
       G                      C               G
And if we can't come together, now and take a stand
     G                D                G
Then folks you better see it while you can

Chorus 3:

To the wide open plain Yellowstone buffalo
G                                   C                G
There's a beauty in this world that some don't understand

So folks you better see it while you can

Verse 4:
     G                           C             G
And if there's still a place high on main street
       G                              D
Where every equal voice can speak for what they believe
    G                            C                G
Without them putting those tight shackles on your hands
    G                 D                G
Then folks you better see it while you can
          D                     C       G
From the peaks of Denali to the Gulf of Mexico
     D                C         G
From Acadia, Maine to Arizona's Saguaro
          G                         C                G
There's a beauty in this world that some don't understand
   G                D                G
So folks you better see it while you can

This land is your land this land is my land
     D                          G
From California to the New York Island
                  C                        G D/F# Em
From The Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream Waters
G                D                G
Folks you better see it while you can
