Intro Em

Where in hell can you Em/B go
C Far from the things that you G know
C Far from the sprawl of con-G crete
that keeps crawling its D way
Gout a thousand miles a Em day

Take one Em last look be-Bm hind
C Commit this to memory and G mind
C Don’t miss this wasteland,
this G terrible place when you D leave
Keep your heart off your Em sleeve.

Oh Mother-G land cradle D me
Close my C eyes, lullaby me to G sleep
Keep me C safe, lie with me G
Stay beside me don’t D go,
don’t you Em go Em

Oh, my Em five and dime Bm queen
C Tell me what have you G seen
C The lust and the avarice,
the G bottomless, the cavernous D greed
Is that what you Em see?

Oh Mother G land cradle D me
Close my C eyes, lullaby me to G sleep
Keep me C safe, lie with me G
Stay beside me don’t D go

Cause it’s your C happiness
that I want G most of all
And if C there’s anything
that A7 I can do at D all, mercy me
If you want the C best of it
If you want the G most of all
And if there’s C anything
that A7 I can do at D all

Em Come on shot gun Bm bride
C What makes me envy your G life?
C Faceless, nameless, G innocent, blameless and D free
You tell me what’s that like to Em be?

Oh Mother-G land cradle D me
Close my C eyes, lullaby me to G sleep
Keep me C safe, lie with me G
Stay beside me don’t D go, don’t go

Oh Mother-G land cradle D me
Close my C eyes, lullaby me to G sleep
Keep me C safe, lie with me G
