[Verse 1]

E           Em/G F#m/A E
Mother earth

They have made so many scars upon your
Em/G F#m/A E Em/G
Face
           F#m/A        E
The beauty you once had
    Em/G             F#m/A E  Em/G F#m/A E
can never be replaced
                   Em/G F#m/A E
Long for wild earth
                             Em/G
You were pounted by the meters
         F#m/A E
from the sky
                 Em/G F#m/A E Em/G F#m/A E
But you did no die


[Verse 2]

                                   Em/G
And now the ones that you have loved
F#m/A                   E  Em/G F#m/A
Are taking you for granted
                   E      Em/G
Here they're so enchanted
       F#m/A              E    Em/G F#m/A
By the progress they have made
                   E      Em/G
They never stop to think
         F#m/A E
Just how much that you can take

[Verse 3]

E            Em/G
Mother earth
        F#m/A            E               Em/G F#m/A E
Take us back to when the proud ones lived
                               Em/G F#m/A E
They only took what you would give
Em/G   F#m/A  E
Mother earth
   Em/G          F#m/A       E
Tonight before I lay my body down
Em/G F#m/A           E       Em/G           F#m/A E
I'll pray to the Lord that a way can be found
                   Em/G F#m/A E
And if bad goes to worse
                Em/G    F#m/A E    Em/G F#m/A E
The Lord help me try to do my best
                  Em/G   F#m/A E
Until once again, mother earth
    Em/G F#m/A E
You hold me
Em/G     F#m/A E
You hold me
         Em/G F#m/A E
You hold us
                Em/G F#m/A E
to your breast
