Man Against Machine chords by Garth Brooks

Em
Papa
     G
They're waiting just outside my door
Am
This is where I make my stand
         Em
'Cause I can't stand it anymore


Em
Papa
    G
They have no heart and soul
Am
But make no doubt about it
       Em
They're the ones that's in control

  Am                      Em
So prepare yourself for a war unlike you've ever seen
     B7      Em
This is man against machine

E    D
Day in, day out
A          C    D
Bust your back and turn it out
E       D     A  B7
Next morning do it all again
E     D
Hard job or two
A         C     D
So your children won't have to
E        D        A   B7
That's just the way it's always been


   A          B7
But lately I swear the machines
   A         B7
Are living the American dream


E        D
Careful calculations
     A       C  D
Details drawn down to design
    E       D      A      C D
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line?
E          D
Don't know me from Adam
      A      B7
Man it's rotten to the core
    A             B7
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before
C7                 B7
John Henry's about to show on the scene
     A      C    D
In this war of man against the machine

E  D   A   C D   X2

E     D
Up early up hills
A          C    D
Spend your youth to pay the bills
E    D        A   B7
Each generation makes a trade
E     D
Top Floor brass tax
A          C     D
Holds the hand that holds the ax
E       D         A   B7
Acts like my dues have not been paid
   A            B7
But pay attention now when I say
     A            B7
Full Automation isn't happening today


E        D
Careful calculations
     A       C  D
Details drawn down to design
    E       D      A      C D
Is it really for the better or a better bottom line?
E          D
Don't know me from Adam
      A      B7
Man it's rotten to the core
    A             B7
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before
C7                 B7
John Henry's about to blow off some steam
     A      C    D     E
In this war of man against the machine

Em
Papa
       G
The power's out the machines are down
Am
In this world of darkness
    Em
I can still hear a sound

Em
Papa
    G
That sound tells us apart
Am
'Cause I'm a machine myself
     B7        Em
But I'm one with a working heart

E        D
Careful calculations
     A       C  D

Don't know me from Adam
      A      B7
Man it's rotten to the core
    A             B7
It's gonna get reminded man has kicked its ass before

The Gloves are off no love lost between
