Where in hell can you [Cm] go?
from the things that [Ab] you know [Db] Far from the sprawl of [Ab] concrete that keeps
About a thousand [Fm] miles a day
Take one last look [Cm] behind Commit [Db] this to memory [Ab] and mind
miss this [Ab] wasteland This terrible place when [Eb] you leave
Keep your heart [Fm] off your sleeve
[Ab]
Motherland, [Eb] cradle me
from the things that [Ab] you know [Db] Far from the sprawl of [Ab] concrete that keeps
About a thousand [Fm] miles a day
Take one last look [Cm] behind Commit [Db] this to memory [Ab] and mind
miss this [Ab] wasteland This terrible place when [Eb] you leave
Keep your heart [Fm] off your sleeve
[Ab]
Motherland, [Eb] cradle me
