[Intro]

Em  Cmaj7  Em


[Verse 1]

Em
Welcome my son,
Cmaj7             Emadd9
Welcome to the machine.
C
Where have you been?
Am                                   Em
It's all right, we know where you've been.
Cmaj7
You've been in the pipe line filling in time,
Emadd9
Provided with toys and scouting for boys.
C
You bought a guitar to punish you ma,
Em
And you didn't like school,

And you know you're nobody's fool.
   Cmaj7     Emadd9           
So welcome to the machine.


[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Em
Welcome my son,
Cmaj7                Emadd9
Welcome to the machine.
C
What did you dream?
A                                   Em
It's all right, we told you what to dream.
Cmaj7
You dreamed of a big star.
Emadd9
He played a mean guitar.
   C
He always ate in the steak bar,
   Em
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
   Cmaj7                Emadd9
So welcome to the machine.
