Motherland v2 Natalie Merchant
[Em]Where in hell can you [Bm]go
[C]Far from the things that you [G]know
[C]Far from the sprawl of conc[G]rete that keeps crawling its [D]way
[D]About 1,000 miles a [Em]day?
[Em]Take one last look beh[Bm]ind
[C]Commit this to memory and [G]mind
[C]Don't miss this wasteland, this [G]terrible place when you [D]leave
[D]Keep your heart off your s[Em]leeve
Mother[G]land cradle [D]me
Close my [C]eyes lullaby me to [G]sleep
Keep me s[C]afe, lie with me
[G]Stay beside me don’t [D]go
Don't you [Em]go
[Em]Oh, my five and dime [Bm]queen,
[C] Tell me what have you [G]seen?
The l[C]ust and the avarice, the [G]bottomless, the cavernous g[D]reed
Is that what you s[Em]ee?
Oh Mother[G]land cradle [D]me
Close my [C]eyes lullaby me to sl[G]eep
Keep me [C]safe, lie with me
[G]Stay beside me don’t [D]go
It's your [C]happiness
I want [G]most of all
And for t[C]hat I’d do a[Am]nything at a[D]ll
Oh mercy m[D]e!
If you want the [C]best of it
Or the [G]most of all
If there's [C]anything [Am]I can do at a[D]ll [Em]
(instrumental with verse riff)
[Em]Now come on shot gun b[Bm]ride
[C]What makes me envy your [G]life?
[C]Faceless, nameless, [G]innocent, blameless and [D]free
What's that like to [Em]be?
Oh Mother[G]land cradle [D]me
Close my [C]eyes lullaby me to s[G]leep
Keep me s[C]afe, lie with me
[G]Stay beside me don’t [D]go
Don't [D]go
Mother[G]land cradle [D]me
Close my [C]eyes lullaby me to s[G]leep
Keep me s[C]afe, lie with me
[G]Stay beside me don’t [D]go
Don't [D]go
