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
