Verse
A
The mechanical wonder is

E
Is just a noise in my room

D
And I'm chasing the wonder and

E
its just a hole in my tune      (SECOND GUITAR PLAYS RIFF 2 HERE)

A
And the radio plays but it

E
But it don't sing a song

D
The mechanical thunder is

E
What is all going on             (AND HERE)

A
And I walk down the road

E
And I awake in a tune

D
And the mechanical thunder is

E
Just a noise in my room
(INTRO RIFF REPEATED) Chorus
       A
And we rode it once

     E
On a thundering night

        D
So I'll walk with you

          E
Where the locks take flight
(second riff again after chorus)
A
All machines make our lives today

E
And I like them the best

D
But the mechanical thunder is

E
It's just a noise in my head

A
And the radio plays at me

E
But it don't sing a song

D
But the mechanical wonder is

E
Ah, it's all going wrong

       A
And they rode it once

     E
On a thundering night

        D
So I walk with you

          E
Where the locks take flight

       A
And we keep on through

     E
It's where the road don't roar

        D
Where the farm once stood

          E
Where the union crawls, big time
(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)
A
The machines that I'm walking from

E
Though they play in the songs

D
And the dreams that your holding on

E
Don't run for so long

A
So I'm hiding machines away

E
But I keep them for you

D
But the things that you want to say

E
It's just a noise in my room

A
And I look at the picture now

E
And there's a weight on us all

D
But the mechanical wonder is

E
It's a cure one and all

        A
And we rode it once

     E
On a thundering night

        D
So I walk with you

          E
Where the locks take flight

       A
And we keep on through

     E
It's where the road don't roar

        D
Where the farm once stood

          E
Where the union crawls, big time
(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)
