Biography:
Natalie Anne Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York) is an American alternative rock singer-songwriter. After rising to fame at the helm of the popular folk-rock band 10,000 Maniacs, Natalie Merchant enjoyed even greater success as a solo artist during the mid-'90s. Her literate, socially conscious songs established her among the preeminent women in pop music, while her solo debut -- 1995's Tigerlily -- helped pave the way for a number of female performers in a pre-Lilith Fair market.

[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
Em Bm C G
Where in hell can you go, far from the things that you know,
C G D
Far from this sprawl of concrete that keeps crawling it's way,
Em
'Bout a thousand miles a day.
[Verse 2]

Take one last look behind, commit this to memory and mind,
C G D
Don't miss this wasteland, this terrible place, when you leave,
Em
Keep your heart off your sleeve.
[Chorus]
G D C G
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
C G D
Keep me safe, lie with me -- stay beside me don't go, don't you go
[Verse 3]
Em Bm C G
My five and dime queen, tell me what have you seen,
C G D
The lust and the avarice the bottomless, the cavernous greed,
Em
Is that what you see?
[Chorus]
G D C G
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
C G D
Keep me safe, lie with me -- stay beside me don't go
[Bridge]
C G
It's your happiness -- I want most of all
C A D
And for that I'd do anything at all. Oh mercy me.
C G
If you want the best of life and the most of love,
C A D
If there is anything I can do at all.
[Instrumental Chorus]
G D C G C G D
[Verse 4]
Em Bm C G
Now, Come on shotgun bride, what makes me envy your life,
C G D
The faceless the nameless the innocent the blameless and free,
Em
What's that like to be?
[Chorus]
G D C G
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
C G D
Keep me safe, lie with me -- stay beside me don't go, don't you go
G D C G
Motherland cradle me, close my eyes lullaby me to sleep,
C G D Em
Keep me safe, lie with me -- stay beside me don't go, Don't go...
