Chords for Christy Moore - Motherland (Official Live Video)

_ _ Daddy, we'll try Motherland. _
_ [C#] _ [F#m] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ We learnt this song from the singing of Natalie Merchant, _ _ _ _ who also wrote it. _

_ _ _ _ _
Where in hell can [C#m] you go?
[D] Far from the things that [A] you know
Far [D]
from this [A] concrete sprawl that keeps crawling [E] its way
_ _ About a thousand [F#m] miles a day _ _ _
Take one last look [C#m] behind
_ [D] Commit this to [A] memory and mind
[D] Don't miss this [A] wasteland, this terrible place when [E] you leave
Keep _ your heart of [F#m] your sleeve
_ _ _ [A] _
Motherland, [E] cradle me
Close [D] my eyes, lullaby me [A] to sleep
Keep [D] me safe, lie with [A] me, stay beside me, [E] don't go
_ _ _ _ [F#m]
My five [C#m] and dime queen
[D] Tell me what have [A] you seen?
[D] The lust and the [A] avarice, the bottomless [E] cavernous gree
Is _ that what [F#m] you see?
_ [A] Motherland, [E] cradle me
[D] Close my eyes, lullaby [A] me to sleep
[D] Keep me safe, lie [A] with me, stay beside [E] me, don't go _ _
_ Don't you go, _ _ _ [D] it's your happiness _ I [A] want most of all _
_ [D] And for [B] that I'll do [E] anything at all
_ If you [D] want the best of life
And _ [A] the most of love
If [D] there's [B] anything I [E] can do at all _
_ _ [F#m] Come on shotgun [C#m]
bride
[D] What makes me [A] envy your life?
_ [D] The faceless, the nameless, [A] the innocent, the [E] blameless and free
Is _ _ [F#m] that what you'd like to be?
_ [A] Motherland, [E] cradle me
[D] Close my eyes, lullaby [A] me to sleep
[D] Keep me safe, lie [A] with me, stay beside [E] me, don't go
_ _ _ _ [A] Motherland, [E] cradle me
[D] Close my eyes, lullaby me [A] to sleep
Keep [D] me safe, lie with [A] me, stay beside me, [E] don't go
_ _ Don't you go, _ _ _ [F#m] don't you go
