Kindof a follow up to my previous post. I'm trying to learn the guitar and this land is your land is a basic cord setup. However, I see about 1/2 of the chord sheets say that it's A7 and the other say D7

Anyone know for sure what 3 chords are used in the song?

One of the bad things about the internet. Something gets written wrong all of the sudden becomes fact.

I appreciate everyones help!

On keyboard, it's G C D7. Imagine it's the same on guitar.

It depends on what key you're playing it in!! You can pay it G C D7
or D G A7 or A D E7. There's no "official" key; it's whatever you want to sing it in. Not everyone can sing in the same key, so you fit the key to the voices. It's good to learn to play in all those keys; that way, whatever common key people want to sing it in, you can play along, too!

I play it by ear on either piano or guitar or dulcimer or autoharp. I play whatever key feels right to me...

Almost sounds like a folk process...
