Em
 Welcome my son,
Cmaj7           | Emadd9 | % | 
 Welcome to the machine.
C
 Where have you been?
                7/8
| Am                                   | Em | % |
   It's all right, we know where you've been
C
 You've been in the pipe line filling in time,
Emadd9
 Provided with toys and scouting for boys.
C
 You bought a guitar to punish you ma,
Em
 You didn't like school,
        Em
And you know you're nobody's fool.
   Cmaj7            | Emadd9 | % |     
So welcome to the machine.

He loved to drive in his Jaguar.
