Hi, 

    Here is Part of the Machine. No capo, but try the Am on the 8th fret 
where shown and try hammering the notes off the high strings. Also the 
lead for the intro is played in the same area.

     Verse 1  Everybody's jumping on the circus train 
                   G         D             G         D     Dm 
              Well some jump high and some jump off again 
              Dm                      C             Am     G 
              And the razz-ma-tazz is rolling women folk unveiled 
                            Am        F         G 
              All truths to light all cross his name 
                   Em 
              Even high where the eagle circles 
                           D                   C 
              Well you can taste tail feathers team 
                  Am                    D 
              But wonders, am I still a free bird 
                        G           Am 
              Or just a part of the machine 

              Am                   G               D        Am 
     Verse 2  We hitched the cover wagons from the rule out west 
                      G            D                G      D     Dm 
              All the picks in the pockets of their sunday best 
              Dm                     C          Am           G 
              Shaking hands, kissing babies for all of their worth 
                                      Am            F           G 
              Oh, they'll promise you gold, Promise everyone an earth 
                         Em 
              Still that old bald eagle circles 
                           D                   C 
              It's not the first and that he's seen 
                   Am                       D 
              His reflection in the eyes of innocence 
                                        G           Am 
              His becoming just another part of the machine 
              D           Am 
              Part of the machine 

                F             C          G 
     Chorus   I wish I had an eagle like you 
                 F       G 
              To look up too 
                             C        D        G   D    G 
              He could be my wings to fly in a big bird sky 
                           C     Em 
              Up Above the whole machine

              Up in the mountains where the eagle  flies 
              Dm                 C         Am   G 
              Wouldn't take that job offer on a plate

              You got to fly with the eagle and he won't wait 
                      Em 
              Looking Down on the smoke on the factories 
                        D               C 
              Until the truth creeps up unseamed 
                       Am                               D 
              They see themselves in the faces of their children 
                                                   Am 
              And realize they too are part of the machine

              Part of the machine 

                F             C          G
