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
AmWhere in hell can you Cgo
FFar from the things that you knCow
FFar from the sprawl of coCncrete
That keeps crawling its wCay
Am
About a thousand miles a day
AmTake one last look behCind
ComFmit this to memory and mCind
DFon't miss this wasteland, this teCrrible place
When you lCeave
Am
keep your heart off your sleeve
Chorus:
MotherlCand, cradle Cme
Close my eFyes
Lullaby me to sCleep
Keep me sFafe
Lie with me C
Stay beside me
Don't Cgo
Don't you Amgo
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:
It's your hFappiness
I want mCost of all
And for tFhat I'd do aDnything at aCll
Oh, mercy Cme
If you want the bFest of love
Or the mCost from life
If there's aFnything I cDan do at aCll
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
Am
Don't you go
