Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)
Neil Young
tabbed by Steve Vetter and Randall Stewart
(transcribed from the _Ragged Glory_ book.)
This is the intro part of the song. Use it again for the solo.
The chords indicated are not always fully strummed. You just
have to kinda wing it. Just Improvise a little and you'll have
it.
2/21/94: OK, I have looked this over since the last time that I did it.
I know think that this is more right. Listen and see. I have also made some
lyrical corrections. As always, comments and corrections are welcome.

Oh mother earth,
with your fields of green
once more laid down by the hungry hand
how long can you give and not recieve
and feed this world ruled by greed
and feed this world ruled by greed
oh ball of fire in the summer sky
your healing light
your parade of days
are they betrayed by the men of power
who hold this world in their changing hand
they hold the world in their changing hands
(riff)
oh freedom land
can you let this go
down to the streets
where the numbers grow
respect mother earth
and her giving ways
or trade away our children's days
or trade away our children's days
respect mother earth
and her healing ways
or trade away our children's days %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
