Motherland

Em Bm C G C G D Em Em Bm C G Where in hell can you go, far from the things that you know, C G D Far from this sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling it's way, Em 'Bout a thousand miles a day. Em Bm C G Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind, C G D Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place, when you leave, Em Keep your heart off your sleeve. G D C G Oh, motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep, C G D Em Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go, don't you go Em Bm C G Oh, my five and dime queen, tell me what have you seen, C G D The lust and the avarice the bottomless, the cavernous greed, Em Is that what you see? G D C G Oh, motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep, C G D Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go C G It's your happiness -- I want most of all C A D And for that I'd do anything at all. Oh mercy me. C G If you want the best of life or the most of love, C A D If there is anything I can do at all. Instr Verse Em Bm C G C G D Em Bm C G C G D Em Bm C G Now, Come on shotgun bride, what makes me envy your life, C G D The faceless the nameless the innocent the blameless and free, Em Tell me what's that like to be? G D C G Oh, motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep, C G D Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go G D C G Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep, C G D Keep me safe, lie with me, stay beside me don't go D Don't you go D Don't you go D Don't you go Em Motherland
