[Fm]
[Cm] Oh, this is a poem by Natalie Merchant.
[Db] Far from the things that [Ab] you know Far
[Db] from the sprawl of [Ab] concrete that keeps
crawling [Eb] its way About a thousand miles [Fm] a day
[Gm] [Fm] Take one last look [Cm] behind
[Eb] [Db] Commit this to memory [Ab] and mind
[Db] Don't miss this wasteland [Ab] This terrible place when [Eb] you leave
You keep your heart off [F] your [Fm] sleeve [Eb] Oh, [Ab] motherland, cradle [Eb] me
Close my [Db] eyes, [Ab] lullaby me to sleep Keep [Db] me safe, lie with [Ab] me
Stay beside me, don't [Eb]
go
[Abm] [Eb] Don't [Fm] you go, oh, my five and [Cm] dime queen
[Db]
Tell me what have [Ab] you seen The [Cm] [Db] lost and the outdoors
[Ab] The bottomless, the cavernous [Eb] greed Is that [Fm] what you see?
Oh, [Ab] motherland, [Eb] cradle me Close [Db] my eyes, lullaby me [Ab] to sleep
[Eb] [Ab] Keep me [Db] safe, lie with [Ab] me Stay beside me, don't [Eb] go
Cause it's [Db] your happiness that I [Ab] want most of all
[Db] [Ab]
And if [Db] there's anything [Bb] that I can [Eb] do at all
Mercy me, [Bbm]
if you [Db] want the best of it If you [Ab] want the most of all
[Db] And if there's anything [Bb] that I can do [Eb] at all
[Fm] Come on, shotgun [Cm] bride What [Db] makes me envy [Ab] your life?
[Db] Faceless, nameless, [Ab] innocent, blameless, [Eb] free You tell [Ab] me what that's [Fm] like to be
[Eb] Oh, [Ab] motherland, cradle [Eb] me [Db] Close 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 [Db] me safe, lie with [Ab] me Stay beside me, [Eb] don't go
[Ab] [G]
[Ab] [Eb] Don't go,
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] [Eb] don't go
