Verse
AThe mechanical wonder is
EIs just a noise in my room
DAnd I'm chasing the wonder and
Eits just a hole in my tune      (SECOND GUITAR PLAYS RIFF 2 HERE)
AAnd the radio plays but it
EBut it don't sing a song
DThe mechanical thunder is
EWhat is all going on             (AND HERE)
AAnd I walk down the road
EAnd I awake in a tune
DAnd the mechanical thunder is
EJust a noise in my room
                              (INTRO RIFF  REPEATED)
Chorus
And we Arode it once
On a Ethundering night
So I'll Dwalk with you
Where the Elocks take flight
                              (second riff again after chorus)
AAll machines make our lives today
EAnd I like them the best
DBut the mechanical thunder is
EIt's just a noise in my head
AAnd the radio plays at me
EBut it don't sing a song
DBut the mechanical wonder is
EAh, it's all going wrong
And theAy rode it once
On a Ethundering night
So I walDk with you
Where the Elocks take flight
And we Akeep on through
It's Ewhere the road don't roar
Where thDe farm once stood
Where the Eunion crawls, big time
                              (INTRO RIFF  REPEATED)
AThe machines that I'm walking from
EThough they play in the songs
DAnd the dreams that your holding on
EDon't run for so long
ASo I'm hiding machines away
EBut I keep them for you
DBut the things that you want to say
EIt's just a noise in my room
AAnd I look at the picture now
EAnd there's a weight on us all
DBut the mechanical wonder is
EIt's a cure one and all
And we rAode it once
On a Ethundering night
So I walDk with you
Where the Elocks take flight
And we Akeep on through
It's Ewhere the road don't roar
Where thDe farm once stood
Where the Eunion crawls, big time
                              (INTRO RIFF  REPEATED)

Verse

The mechanical wonder is

Is just a noise in my room

And I'm chasing the wonder and

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

And the radio plays but it

But it don't sing a song

The mechanical thunder is

What is all going on (AND HERE)

And I walk down the road

And I awake in a tune

And the mechanical thunder is

Just a noise in my room

(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)

Chorus

And we rode it once

On a thundering night

So I'll walk with you

Where the locks take flight

(second riff again after chorus)

All machines make our lives today

And I like them the best

But the mechanical thunder is

It's just a noise in my head

And the radio plays at me

But it don't sing a song

But the mechanical wonder is

Ah, it's all going wrong

And they rode it once

On a thundering night

So I walk with you

Where the locks take flight

And we keep on through

It's where the road don't roar

Where the farm once stood

Where the union crawls, big time

(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)

The machines that I'm walking from

Though they play in the songs

And the dreams that your holding on

Don't run for so long

So I'm hiding machines away

But I keep them for you

But the things that you want to say

It's just a noise in my room

And I look at the picture now

And there's a weight on us all

But the mechanical wonder is

It's a cure one and all

And we rode it once

On a thundering night

So I walk with you

Where the locks take flight

And we keep on through

It's where the road don't roar

Where the farm once stood

Where the union crawls, big time

(INTRO RIFF REPEATED)
