Em 
Welcome my son, 
Cmaj7                Em 
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, 
Em 
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.
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7                Em 
So welcome to the machine.

Em 
Welcome my son, 
Cmaj7                Em 
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. 
Em 
He played a mean guitar. 
   C 
He always ate in the steak bar, 
   Em 
He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
[Chorus]
   Cmaj7                Em 
So welcome to the machine.
