Motherland chords by Heather Nova

/ Heather Nova  /  I think this song is about this girl imagining her life
  / Motherland    /  with the person, which she is so deeply in love with.
 / Redbird       /  She tells that she would happily give away her life just
/_______________/  to be with her love... that is some kind of a declaration!

        F#
     If I could keep you underneath my wing
         F#
     The sky above you, safe from everything
     F#
     Under, under my wing

 To watch you breathing is all that I can do
 To see you smile, my only wish come true
 I'm living, living for you

         D
     The waves roll in, I help you swim
   F#
     You take my hand
         D
     And through the years and through the fears
   F#
     I'll be your rock, the motherland

 The bond is written, the animal in me
 I'd lay my life down, I'd give it happily
 I'd give it, I'd give it for you
