rock the machine Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm losing wil[C]l, lov[G]e
My hands are soft as cotton gloves
Machine has eaten [C]up my [G]job
My meaning, my cause

[Verse 2]
Machine with the [G]strength
of a hun[C]dred [G]men
Can't feed and clothe my children
Can't greet a sailor coming [C]in
[G]Or know of desperation
[C][G]

[Verse 3]
I shovel coal down Spen[C]cer's [G]dock
I took your dear in[Am]to we[C]dl[G]ock
And you did bear us a [C]beauti[G]ful flock
River rock the machine
down [C]on the dock[G]s
River rock the machine un[C]til [G]it stops
Oh [C]low

[Verse 4]
Liffey, show [G]me gold
[C]Like a heron I will [G]go
Oh [C]roaring Liffey when [G]you're high
[C]Like a cormorant I will [G]dive

[Verse 5]
In the [D]Galway glow at night we [C]rise
We're [G]gold enough to win back [C]time
We're [G]gold enough to
win back the [C]pride
River [G]rock the machine un[C]til it [D]dies[G]

[Verse 6]
Today, dear, I'm [Am]unemp[C]loyed
[G]Before I spoke, you read my [C]eye[G]s
I feared of nothing [C]or no [G]one
But I feel old [C]and I'm so [G]young

[Verse 7]
I miss [G]the graft, I [C]miss [G]the boys
I plead for purpose [C]in [G]the void
Time is inward, [C]ticking [G]tighter
I wish my load was a [Am]mountain lighter
[G]I

[Verse 8]
shovel coal down [C]Spencer's [G]dock
I took your dear in[C]to wed[G]lock
And you did bear us a [C]beauti[G]ful flock
River rock the machine
down [C]on the dock[G]s
River rock the machine un[C]til [G]it stops
Oh [C]low

[Verse 9]
Liffey, show [G]me gold
[C]Like a heron I will [G]go
Oh [C]roaring Liffey when [G]you're high
[C]Like a cormorant I will [G]dive

[Verse 10]
In the [D]Galway glow at night we [C]rise
We're [G]gold enough to win back [C]time
We're [G]gold enough to
win back the [C]pride
River [G]rock the machine un[C]til it [G]dies

[Verse 11]
River rock [G]the machine
down [C]on the dock[G]s
River rock the machine un[C]til it stops
[G]
