Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE


Verse 1:

E MajorE            D MajorD
Took down my coat and I put it on

   A augmentedA           E MajorE
With cold hands through the sleeves

            D MajorD
Put down my head and I rode alone

A augmentedA        E MajorE
Silent as in the trees

      D MajorD
I rode past all the soldiers there

       A augmentedA        E MajorE
Guardin' the bridge cross the creek

             D MajorD
The lonesome sounds of my bridal bells

   A augmentedA       E MajorE
Their mad chattering teeth

Chorus:

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't get what you need

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't beat the machine


Verse 2:

E MajorE        D MajorD
Rode three days through the howlin' rain

      A augmentedA        E MajorE
Towards the kingdoms in the East

          D MajorD
I heard that great dog of winter there

         A augmentedA      E MajorE
Call through the darkness to me

              D MajorD
He asked how long 'til the war come to him

    A augmentedA      E MajorE
I said not til the spring

            D MajorD
He said those fools can never take the crown

        A augmentedA       E MajorE
But it's still up to you and me

Chorus:

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't get what you need

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't beat the machine


Instrumental:

Verse 3:

E MajorE           D MajorD
Famines rage while the withered sages

      A augmentedA       E MajorE
Point their fingers at the beast

           D MajorD
This war machine and all the death it brings

     A augmentedA      E MajorE
Crushing bodies underneath

            D MajorD
Wheels of hate unburied soldiers lay under

A augmentedA        E MajorE
Flags out in the street

           D MajorD
The final age of the human race

        A augmentedA       E MajorE
But it's still up to you and me


Chorus:

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't get what you need

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't beat the machine

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't get what you need

E MajorE  D MajorD    A augmentedA         E MajorE
Oh, oh, you can't beat the machine
