None of them
Here is Motherland from Christy's newest album, Burning Times. A very good version,
the one from the Dublin DVD. Easy to play once you mget the rhythm right.
Capo fret 1
Em Bm
Where in hell can you go
C G
Far from the things that you know
C G
Far from the sprawl of concrete
D
That keeps crawling its way
Em
About a thousand miles a day
Em Bm
Take one last look behind
C G
Commit this to memory and mind
C G
Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place
D
When you leave
Em
keep your heart off your sleeve
Chorus:
G D
Motherland, cradle me
C
Close my eyes
G
Lullaby me to sleep
C
Keep me safe
G
Lie with me
Stay beside me
D
Don't go
Em
Don't you go
Verse:
Oh, my five and dime queen
Tell me what have you seen
The lust and the avarice
The bottomless, cavernous greed
Is that what you see?
Chorus:
Motherland cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go
Don't you go
Bridge:
C
It's your happiness
G
I want most of all
C A D
And for that I'd do anything at all
D
Oh, mercy me
C
If you want the best of love
G
Or the most from life
C A D
If there's anything I can do at all
Verse:
Now come on shot gun bride
What makes me envy your life
The faceless, the nameless
The innocent, the blameless
And free
What's it like to be?
Chorus:
Motherland, cradle me
Close my eyes
Lullaby me to sleep
Keep me safe
Lie with me
Stay beside me
Don't go
Em
Don't you go
