E  A  E


[Verse 1]
E                       DTook down my coat and I put it on
     A                      EWith cold hands through the sleeves
                       DPut down my head and I rode alone
A                ESilent as in the trees
            DI rode past all the soldiers there
             A                EGuardin' the bridge cross the creek
                          DThe lonesome sounds of my bridal bells
      A              ETheir mad chattering teeth


[Chorus]
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't get what you need
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't beat the machine


[Verse 2]
E               DRode three days through the howlin'  rain
            A               ETowards the kingdoms in the East
                   DI heard that great dog of winter there
                 A           ECall through the darkness to me
                           DHe asked how long 'til the war come to him
       A           EI said not til the spring
                        DHe said those fools can never take the crown
               A              EBut it's still up to you and me


[Chorus]
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't get what you need
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't beat the machine


[Instrumental]
D  A  E  [x2]

[Verse 3]
E                      DFamines rage while the withered sages
            A              EPoint their fingers at the beast
                     DThis war machine and all the death it brings
         A           ECrushing bodies underneath
                        DWheels of hate unburied soldiers lay under
A                EFlags out in the street
                     DThe final age of the human race
               A             EBut it's still up to you and me


[Chorus]
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't get what you need
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't beat the machine
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't get what you need
E   D       A                  EOh, oh, you can't beat the machine
