Beat The Machine chords by Quaker City Night Hawks

Intro:
E A E


Verse 1:

E            D
Took down my coat and I put it on

   A           E
With cold hands through the sleeves

            D
Put down my head and I rode alone

A        E
Silent as in the trees

      D
I rode past all the soldiers there

       A        E
Guardin' the bridge cross the creek

             D
The lonesome sounds of my bridal bells

   A       E
Their mad chattering teeth


Chorus:

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

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


Verse 2:

E        D
Rode three days through the howlin' rain

      A        E
Towards the kingdoms in the East

          D
I heard that great dog of winter there

         A      E
Call through the darkness to me

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

    A      E
I said not til the spring

            D
He said those fools can never take the crown

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


Chorus:

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

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


Instrumental:
D A E x2:

Verse 3:

E           D
Famines rage while the withered sages

      A       E
Point their fingers at the beast

           D
This war machine and all the death it brings

     A      E
Crushing bodies underneath

            D
Wheels of hate unburied soldiers lay under

A        E
Flags out in the street

           D
The final age of the human race

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


Chorus:

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

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

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

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