[Verse 1]
 
G
Machinery mill us forever will rule us
Em                              C
Until we find out how you're wired
G
God's no longer read through the hands of the dead
Em                              C
It's safe now to question the friar
G
If they'd stopped at the wheel
Am                               C
We'd never have swung in this tire

[Verse 2]
G
Beyond middle ages, left village for nations
Em                               C
This masterpiece our fathers penned
G
Too dark to see the old time tyranny
Em                              C
May the bulb never burn out again
G
Now that we know now
Am                                C
Everything that we didn't know then
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                  D
The book was the lash
C                     G
And the word was the law
Em                  D
But the tyranny ended
C                  G
With Ink on a block
C                      G
But don't put it in park
C              D
With miles to go
G
Need a match
C                   D             G
Nevermore shall we read in the dark

but you could do something like this:
        C       G       D       G

G|----0---------0---4p0-2-4-2---0-|

and just try to follow the melody of the concertina while you switch between chords
 
(Intro)
 
 
[Verse 3]
G
Gargantua's hungry his fork and knife drumming
Em                                C
But what if we served him no more?
G
If just for a day We took over this place
Em                                    C
Found out where our harvests are stored
G                            Am                            C
Laugh like a king while you can 'til the bastians are stormed
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                  D
The book was the lash
C                     G
And the word was the law
Em                  D
But the tyranny ended
C                  G
With Ink on a block
C                      G
But don't put it in park
C              D
With miles to go
G
Need a match
C                   D             G
Nevermore shall we read in the dark
 
 
*muted*
 
Em                  D
The book was the lash
C                     G
And the word was the law
Em                  D
But the tyranny ended
C                  G
With Ink on a block
C                      G
But don't put it in park
C              D
With miles to go
G
Need a match
C                   D             G
Nevermore shall we read in the dark
 
[Outro]
 
C    G     D      G
Nevermore in the dark...
C    G     D
Nevermore in the dark...
C    G     D      G
Nevermore in the dark...
Bb5        F      G
Nevermore in the dark!
 
(Intro)
 
NEVER!
 
 
Rest in power Erik.
