_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Where in hell can you [Cm] _ go?
_ _ [Db] Far from the things that [Ab] you 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 [Cm] behind _ Commit [Db] _ this to memory [Ab] and mind
_ _ _ Don't miss this [Ab] wasteland This terrible place when [Eb] you leave _ _ _ _ _
Keep your heart [Fm] off your _ sleeve _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
Motherland, [Eb] cradle me _
Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _ _ [Db] Keep me safe, lie with me
Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go _ _ _ _ _ _ Don't [Fm] you _ go _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Oh my five and [Cm] diamond queen _ _ _ [Db] Tell me, what [Ab] have you seen?
The _ [Db] lost and the [Ab] avarice The bottomless, the _ cavernous [Eb] grief _ _
_ _ _ Is that [Fm] what you see?
_ Oh, [Ab] _ motherland _
[Eb] Cradle me, _ [Db] close my eyes Lullaby me [Ab] to sleep _ _
[Db] Keep me safe, lie with [Ab] me Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Db] It's your happiness _ that _ _ _ _ [Ab] I want most of all _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] And for that I'd do [Dm]
anything [Eb] at all
_ Oh, mercy me _ [Db] If you want the best of it _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] Or the most of all _ _ _ _ _ If [Db] there's anything, [D] I can [Eb] do it _ all _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now come on, shotgun [Cm] bride _ What [Db] _ makes me envy [Ab] your life?
_ _ _ _ [Db] Faceless, _ nameless, innocent _ Blameless [Eb] and free
_ _ _ _ Tell me, what's that [Fm] like to _ be?
Oh, [Ab] _ _
