[Verse 1]
Am G
Everybody’s jumping
D Am
on the circus train
G D
Well some jump high
G D Dm
and some jump off again
Dm
And the razz-ma-tazz
C Am G
is rolling women folk unveiled
Am
All truths to light
F G
all cross his name
Em
Even high where the eagle circles
D
Well you can taste
C
tail feathers team
Am
But wonders, am I
D
still a free bird
G
Or just a part of
Am
the machine
[Verse 2]
Am
We hitched the covered
G D Am
wagons from the rule out west
G
All the picks in the
D G D Dm
pockets of their sunday best
Dm
Shaking hands,
C Am
kissing babies for all of their
G
worth
Oh, they’ll promise
Am F G
you gold, Promise everyone an earth
Still that
Em
old bald eagle circles
D
It’s not the first
C
and that he’s seen
Am
His reflection in
D
the eyes of innocence
His becoming just
G Am
another part of the machine
D Am
Part of the machine
[Chorus]
F C
I wish I had
G
an eagle like you
F G
To look up too
C
He could be my wings
D G D G
to fly in a big bird sky
C
Up Above the whole
Em
machine

Part of the machine,

Part of the machine
[Verse 3]
Am G
Smart guys out
D Am
running the whole man tribe
G D
Up in the mountains
G D Dm
where the eagle flies
Dm
Wouldn’t take that
C Am G
job offer on a plate
You got to fly with
Am F G
the eagle and he won’t wait
Em
Looking Down on the smoke on the factories
D
Until the truth
C
creeps up unseamed
Am
They see themselves
D
in the faces of their children
And realize they too
Am
are part of the machine
G Am
Part of the machine
[Chorus]
F C
I wish I had
G
an eagle like you
F G
To wake up too
C
He could be my wings
D G D G
to fly in a big bird sky
C
He’ll let me be part
Em
of the machine
G Am
Part of the machine,
G Am G
part of the machine, part of the
Am
machine
G
Part of your
Am G Am
machine, part of your machine.
