WELCOME TO THE MACHINE- Pink Floyd

Emadd9  Cmaj7(2)  Emadd9 (all strum backwards)

Em              C               Em
Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
C                   Am                                  Em
Where have you been? It's alright we know where you've been
C                                         Cmaj7(2)
You've been in the pipeline filling in time
Emadd9
Provided with toys and "Scouting for Boys"
C                                    Cmaj7(2)
You bought a guitar to punish your ma
Emadd9
And you didn't like school, and you know you're nobody's fool
     C   Cmaj7            Emadd9   Cmaj7  Em/F#
So welcome to the machine

Em Em/F# Em/G Em/A C/G Esus2  
Em Em/F# Em/G Em/A C/G Esus2
C D6+9  C D6+9
Em Em/F# Em/G Em/A C/G Esus2

Welcome my son, welcome to the machine
What did you dream? It's alright we know what you dreamed
You dreamed of a big star
He played a mean guitar
He always ate in the Steak Bar, he loved to drive in his Jaguar
So welcome to the machine

NOTE:  Thanks to Kirit Saelensminde for most of this.  I changed a couple 
of chords cos I thought they were more indicative of what the whole band 
was doing.
