Capo 0
Em G
Where in hell can you go?
C G
Far from the things that you know
C G
Far from the sprawl of concrete
D
That keeps crawling its way
Em
About a thousand miles a day
Em G
Take one last look behind
C G
Commit this to memory and mind
C G
Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place
D
When you leave
Em
Keep your heart off your sleeve
Chorus:
G D
Motherland, cradle me
C
Close my eyes
G
Lullaby me to sleep
C G
Keep me safe, lie with me
Dm
Stay beside me, Don't go
Em
Oh please don't you go
Em G
My five and dime queen
C G
Tell me what have you seen?
C
The lust and the avarice
G D
The bottomless, cavernous greed
Em
Is that what you see?
Chorus:
G D
Motherland, cradle me
C
Close my eyes
G
Lullaby me to sleep
C G
Keep me safe, lie with me
Dm
Stay beside me, Don't go
Em
Oh please don't you go
Bridge:
C
It's your happiness
G
I want most of all
C A D
And for that I'd do anything at all
C
If you want the best of love
G
Or the most from life
C A D
If there's anything I can do at all
Verse:
Em G
Come on, shot gun bride
C G
What makes me envy your life?
C
The faceless, the nameless
G
The innocent, the blameless
D
And free
Em
What's that like to be?
Chorus:
G D
Motherland, cradle me
C
Close my eyes
G
Lullaby me to sleep
C G
Keep me safe, lie with me
Dm
Stay beside me, Don't go
Em
Oh please don't you go
Chorus:
G D
Motherland, cradle me
C
Close my eyes
G
Lullaby me to sleep
C G
Keep me safe, lie with me
Dm
Stay beside me, Don't go
Em
Oh please don't you go
