Pete Seeger 1919-2014: Medley

A man of great integrity who, well, others can say it better than me. Here's a medley of songs he was associated with either because he performed them or wrote them:


C           C                F             C
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
          Em                 Dm               C                     G7
Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes all the same
          C                C             F               C
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one
          Em                  Dm  C         G7        C
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same


To every [C] thing, [F]turn, [Em]turn, [G] turn,
There is a [C]season, [F]turn, [Em]turn, [G]turn,
And a [F]time [Em]to every [Dm]purpose [G]under [C]heaven

C                   Am
Where have all the flowers gone?
F         G
Long time passing
C                   Am
Where have all the flowers gone?
F         G
Long time ago
C                   Am
Where have all the flowers gone?
F                      G
Girls have picked them every one
F               C
When will they ever learn?
F                         G    C
When will they ever learn?


                  F                                  C
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
            G7                              C
I saw above me that endless skyway
             F                              C
I saw below me that golden valley
G7            C
This land was made for you and me.

C                F                     C
This land is your land, this land is my land
               G7               C
From California to the New York Island
                 F                                                       C    Am
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
G7                                                C
This land was made for you and me.

C        F   C
We shall overcome
         F   C
We shall overcome
         F G Am   D    G  D G
We shall overcome some day

D G C    F     C
Oh, deep in my heart
F G    C
I do believe
         F   C    G    C
We shall overcome some day
