[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
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 its way, Em 'Bout a thousand miles a day.
[Verse 2]
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.
[Chorus]
G D C G 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
[Verse 3]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
C G It's your happiness - I want most of all C A7 D And for that I'd do anything at all, oh mercy me. C G If you want the best of it or the most of all, C A7 D If there's anything I can do at all.
[Instrumental Verse]
Em Bm C G
C G D D
Em Em
[Verse 4]
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 What's that like to be?
[Chorus]
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, don't go G D C G Motherland cradle me, close my eyes, lullaby me to sleep, C G D D D Em Keep me safe, lie with me - stay beside me, don't go, don't go...
