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
