The Secret Machines


Tom: Em

Em A G Am B A G D
Ahh, ahh

[Verse]
Em             B            Am
Hold on, the recent exchange
         C       G    F#m   Em
Is just another face arranged
Em       B                Am
By the knife edge of time
         C       G     E     A
And just another waste of mine

A B       Em
I wonder, ahh
Em                       A
Was that the pharaoh's daughter?
       G              D         D#m Bm
Or the wealth I still remember?

[Verse]
Em                               B
We were dressed in uniforms left over from the war
  Am                             C            G   F#m
A tourniquet, an iron vest, our emblem was a star
    Em
The younger ones looked frightened
    B
Left unguarded by the clouds
       Am
While sons of fire with trembling hands
       C              G    G#m
Burned heroes to the ground

[Bridge]
      A         B
Is it true? I wonder, ahhh
 E                       A
Was that the famous daughter
       G                      D
Of the well-heeled revolving oh-so-fine?
      A                B
While we were building caskets
 Em                  A
For boys in leather jackets
    G            D
The girl's quite familiar
