[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Where in hell can you [Cm] go? _ _
_ _ [Db] Far from the things that you [Ab] know _
_ _ _ [Db] Far from the sprawl of [Ab] concrete that keeps crawling [Eb] its way
_ _ About _ _ a thousand [Fm] miles a _ day _ _
Take _ _ _ _ _ _ one last look behind
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [Db]
Commit this to memory [Ab] and mind
_ I _ _
[Db] don't miss this _ wasteland, [Ab] this terrible place
[Eb] When you leave, _ _ _ _ _ keep your heart off [Fm] your _ sleeve _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ Motherland, _ cradle [Eb] me _ _
Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _ _
Keep [Db] me safe, lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, don't [Eb] go _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Don't you [Fm] go _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh, my five and dialed [Cm] queen _
_ [Db] Tell _ me what have [Ab] you seen _
The [Db] _ lost and the _ avarice, [Ab] the bottomless _ [Eb] cavernous green _ _
_ Is _ _ _ that what you [Fm] _ see?
Oh, _ [Ab] _ _
motherland, cradle [Eb] _ me
_ Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _
_ Keep me [Db] safe, lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, don't [Eb] go
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ It's your [Db] happiness _ _ I _ _ _ _ want [Ab] most of all
_ And _ _ _ _ [Db] for that I'd [D] do anything [Eb] at all
Oh, _ mercy me
_ If you [Db] want the best of it
_ _ Oh, _ the _ [Ab] most of love
_ _ If _
_ _ _ [Db] there's anything [D] that I can [Eb] do at _ _ all _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now come on shotgun [Cm] _ bride
_ What [Db] _ makes me envy [Ab] your life
_ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] Faceless, _ nameless, innocent, _ blameless and [Eb] free _
What's _ _ _ _ _ that [Fm] like to be?
_ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, _ [Ab] _ motherland, _ cradle [Eb] me _
_ Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _ _
_ Keep me [Db] safe, _ lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go _
_ _ Don't go
_ Oh, [Ab] _ motherland, _ cradle [Eb] _ me
_ Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _
_ Keep me [Db] safe, lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Don't go _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] Don't _ go _ _ _
_ _ _ Beautiful _ _ _ _ voice _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ Oh, [Ab] _
motherland, _ cradle [Eb] me
_ _ Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep
_ _ Keep [Db] me safe, lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go
_ _ _ Don't go
